Game 4 of the NBA Championship is on tonight!
My friend JustJenn made Marbled Lakers Cupcake for Game 2, and that inspired me to show my Los Angeles Lakers spirit.
This is called Broken Glass Jello or Stained Glass Jello. Totally easy to make with boxed jello, Knox unflavored gelatin and sweetened condensed milk...and time.
I've made it with 4 colors before, and you can adapt it in a rainbow of colors.

Broken Glass or Stained Glass Jello
(Adapted from JustJenn)
4 small boxes (3 oz. each) of Jell-O or store brand "gelatin dessert" in different colors. (I used 2 boxes of 3 oz. lemon jello and one 6 oz. box of grape)
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (don't get evaporated milk)
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (that Knox stuff)
For each flavor, dissolve one box of jello in one cup of boiling water. Pour into a container and chill (overnight is probably best, but I chilled it 3 hours until firm). I had four of these containers of jello.
After chilling the four flavors, cut them into small blocks.
Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13 pan.
In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms, add 1 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add the can of condensed milk. Stir and cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello. It does help to take the time to skim off any small bubbles that are created when you pour the condensed milk on the jello pieces. Chill overnight.
Cut into blocks or shapes and serve! In this case, serve up and cheer!
By the way, did you hear this NPR Morning Edition piece by Tom Goldman? Anti-Lakers Sentiment Rampant Through NBA Fans. Eeck!! I'm a native Los Angeles gal so the Lakers have always been my team. Please don't hate me for it! :)
That is some totally jello-licious Laker love right there! My little brother asks me all the time to make your broken jello recipe again. Easy and so tasty. Can't beat that!

oh my gosh - that is SO cool! i am most definitely trying this!
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic! You do such a good job of keeping the squares square. I tried making your primary colors version and I think I stir them too much because I broke the corners off :-(
ReplyDeleteYours look amazing though, and they taste great!!
Lovely as usual...
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready for my try at broken glass Jell-o (not only do I want to see if I'll succeed, but I need nail&hair therapy! So, lots of Jell-o!) LOL
Now, any thoughts on the best way to unmold theses babies without braking them, and keeping very square pieces???
Simple just spray your molding dish with pam spray before putting jellow and it will come off like magic.
DeleteThought it waso dd but it works perfectly
wow you re really creative! This looks so nice :)
ReplyDeleteTHAT is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGO LAKERS!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute snack! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! They look like real gems :)
ReplyDeleteWow. It's almost art!

I may be a Magic girl, but I can recognize greatness! That jello ROCKS.

ReplyDeleteSo nice. I have to make this. What a beautiful jello.

ReplyDeletethat is AWESOME and GO LAKERS - what a fabulous game tonight!!!! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to your blog after vacay. Devouring it now!
ReplyDeleteI love when you make these! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeletesuch a perfect treat to celebrate the huge win in OT tonite --- woo hoo!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Purple and yellow really do make a beautiful mosaic.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool!! Your squares are perfect. I wish I could cut like that!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea - so pretty! It reminds me of one of my favorite candies growing up, Brach's Jelly Nougats.
ReplyDeleteGo Lakers! I am so glad they won last night - and how cool of you to show such team spirit!
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect tribute to the Lakers. It calls to mind that famous line that the late, great Chick Hearn (long time former Laker announcer)used to say when the Lakers had the game put away:
ReplyDeleteThe Refrigerator Quote
"This game's in the refrigerator! The door's closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O is jiggling...."
This reminds me of those bars of soap that have square chunks in them just like this. Creative idea!
ReplyDeleteKathSW,
ReplyDeleteI totally remember Chick Hearn saying that!!! Gosh, I miss him. At least we still have Vin with the Dodgers. Thanks for stopping by! - mary the food librarian
Whoa! Those pictures are AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThe Chick Hearn quote was so apropos here haha.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. Just awesome Go Lakers! Take it all on Sunday! :D
I'm lovin' your blog. I just started reading and can't wait to continue! I can't wait to try these out either. I'm not a lakers fan, since I live in dallas tx (although I do admit, they're good!) I'm loving the colors.
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome looking!!!
ReplyDeleteGOOOOO LA!!!! Yeahoo!!! Love this jello. MMmmmmm!!!!! Racheal
ReplyDeletehey! i love the jello thing :D yumm
ReplyDeletep.s. who are the lakers?
im from london so i have no idea what your talking about lol
someone plz comment back
( and check out my blog maybe :D http://itseemslikeforever.blogspot.com/ )
man, this reminds me of some soaps that I tend to get that use this effect :P So now I'm conflicted! It looks so good but I think soap! However, I will def. be giving this a try!
ReplyDeleteSo totally awesome. I love the Laker's colors especially!
ReplyDeleteDear Kandi,
ReplyDeleteThe Los Angeles Lakers are one of the professional basketball teams in Los Angeles. They are in the championship tournament against the Orlando (Florida) Magic basketball team. Sort of like the championship football tournament! - mary
You are SO the queen of jello! You rock! :D
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great thing to make for a party for a new graduate, in the school colors of course!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm also going to try making coffee-flavored gelatin, chocolate gelatin and then combine them for a "Stained Glass Mocha Jello."
I've made ribbon jello, but never stained glass jello. But it's basically the same concept in layers instead of chunks. Very tasty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!
ReplyDeletehaha
:D
I liked the idea of marble cupcakes in Martha Stewart's Cupcake book, but I wanted to Laker-ize them and change it up to be gold and purple.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the awesome idea, I think the red, white & blue stars I made for the 4th are going to be a hit!
ReplyDeleteBonjour:) J'ai fait ta délicieuse recette et elle a eu un franc succès auprès de mes enfants:)
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup à toi et en passant, tu as un très très beau blog avec d'incroyables photos!! Franchement, Bravo;)

wow, this is so pretty! what a gorgeous, summery dessert!
ReplyDeletelovely technique and execution! we can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on this blog post when I was trying to find a recipe for "Hawaiin Jello" that my mom used to make when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI used your idea to make Pina Colada Jello Squares. I used pineapple and cherry jello for the squares (3-1 ratio of pineapple to cherry), and substituted coconut milk for the condensed milk. They were a hit! I'm going to try adding rum next time to see if I can make a jello shooter that tastes like a pina-colada.
Dear Anonymous #60, That sounds yummy! I've never seen pineapple jello here in Los Angeles. My friend brought some home from Hawaii on her recent trip! - mary
ReplyDeleteI am the desert provider for our party tonight, one guest is allergic to nuts and another to gluten. What a cool desert the Broken Glass Jell-o will be. Thanks
ReplyDeleteoouuu perfect!..
ReplyDeleteSo happy I found these on Pinterest. I'll be making them for the LSU game this weekend ~ Geaux Tigers!
