Christmas Broken Glass Jello
I have a thing for Jello. I've loved it since I was a kid. It was early "cooking" - hey, you learn how to measure water and stir! And patience as you waited for the Jello to set. So, I wanted to make a Christmas-themed Jello dish.
And...the oven died or is very sick. It's getting a check up now, so I'm making no-bake items.
I received this beautiful dish for my birthday from my friend Jessica. And her boyfriend Andy did a great job wrapping the gift! (Andy, your bow was awesome! ;)
For the regular
Broken Glass Jello, you use 4 different flavors (3 ounce boxes). For the Christmas one, I used a 6 ounce box of Raspberry and Lime. Here is the full recipe for
Broken Glass Jello.
Carefully mix the blocks of Jello in a 9 x 13 pan. I have started to line my pans with a big piece of plastic wrap. This makes it so much easier! I'm able to lift out the fully set Jello onto a cutting board and cut it up. The edges have some "wrinkles" from the plastic wrap, but you can chop that off if you wish.
Let the sweetened condensed milk mixture cool a bit (or you might melt the cubed jello pieces), then pour over the cubes. I like to skim off the bubbles for a cleaner finish, but you don't have to do that.
My co-workers really like Jello too. One person walked into the break room, and shouted "Jello!!" This is a festive, no-bake, super easy recipe that spreads lots of Christmas joy!

They're so pretty! Your jello bites like this always remind me of nonya cakes that we ate in Singapore. Going to have a go myself one day, I can feel it...
Lovely!
these are STUNNING! they look like art... fabulous!
Jelly (as we call it in New Zealand!) is so much fun! I love the Lakers Jello colous best :)
SO beautiful!!! I really need to try this!
i'm not really a jello fan (though i do like it when it has ginger ale in it) but golly you make it look so purdy!
Awesome Jello treats. You are a master!
Oh my gosh these look fantastic! They're so cute and I would definitely gobble these right up!
Wow?! This looks super-stylish! And the rest of your Jello goodies are beautiful and cool too!
I love how much you love Jello. You're the only person I know that loves it a little bit more and I do and I love you for it girl!
Basically this is art..can I hand it on my wall??
Those are so beautiful. As much fun for the adults as for the kids!
I love the broken glass jello... and it really is quite delicious too! Did you ever see the Sea Glass Jello that I did this past summer? Inspired by you, of course!
You're pretty much queen of broken glass jello and bundt cakes ;)
These are terribly pretty. I love the other coloured jelly cubes too. I don't know how I could survive without my oven so I hope you are able to repair yours soon!
Omigoodness! How beautiful!
Aw, I made the multi-color broken glass jello for Thanksgiving. I got it off a blog.... I bet it was yours! How funny. It was a big hit and I loved it :)
Wow! This looks amazing. Jell-o is very dear to my heart and I think I now have to try to find some around here.
Wow, that's *really* pretty. I've never been a huge fan of Jello, but this is so visually appealing that I may be converted...
Lovely! Thanks for sharing the Jello love. I live in Mexico City and Jello desserts are everywhere here. Your Christmas treats are very similar to the types of sweet snacks sold to-go at local ice cream shops. Green, red and white are the colors of the Mexican flag, so they're popular! Another traditional dessert here looks like a flower frozen in a Jello bubble: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWwUJ3D-eUw&feature=related
I really want to learn how to make those.
Wow..they look so good.it's amazing what one can do with jello
Wow those are SO pretty I need to get myself some lime jello stat! Awesome job Mary!
I think it's safe to say, you're the jello queen. Great fun idea for the holidays!
we love your broken glass jellos. you should submit this to the cook off, it totally counts as a cookie even though it's a jello. it does!
mary - ur famous - how cool!! What about making a broken kugel jello for passover??
I just found you via a retweet and LOVE these jellos. All of them! Gonna be checking the cabinets as soon as I finish typing and then come back and look through some of your other dishes.
So easy - and yet soooo cool!
BTW - I just bought a new oven last week - so I feel your pain :-)

From one librarian to another,

Thanks so much for this recipe. I made it for my office Holiday Open House, and it was a hit. Everyone thought it was not only cute but very tasty as well. I can't wait to experiment with some of the other Jello recipes.
Wow, exquisite! I don't really like jello, but these are wonderful! Bookmarked!
I love the red tree plate...it made the presentation quite astonishing!!! I miss your broken jello!! :)
:( I tried this but the milk koagulated instantly :(
Have you ever made this in the Jello Ring mold? Would one recipe fit in that, and then does it just slide out? Its so pretty! Thanks for this!!!
@Ashley and Brett Dear Ashley and Brett (#38), Please see this post where I made it into a bundt pan (http://www.foodlibrarian.com/2011/11/broken-glass-jello-bundt-day-24-of-food.html) You'll need to increase the unflavored gelatin to make it firmer. Good luck! - mary
I think you may be the one to help me pull this off! I am looking to create the Wisps from the movie BRAVE. And I thought blue jello would be the perfect medium. But how do I form them? Here is a link to the Wisps: http://collider.com/brave-images-wisps-witch/
If you have suggestions, I am hoping to experiment this weekend for my daughter's birthday party next weekend (6/1). I even plan to buy small blue glow sticks, clean them thoroughly, then shove them in the Jello Wisps so they glow! It think it's super cool! Just not sure how to form the Jello into a custom shape (saran wrap?. Thanks so much! deb
