What Is Stained Glass Jelly?

Also known as Mosaic Jello or Broken Glass Jelly, this dessert combines vibrant cubes of flavored jelly suspended in a silky, sweetened gelatin-milk base. It’s a whimsical, eye-catching dessert that’s easy to make and endlessly customizable with your favorite jelly colors and flavors.


Ingredients

For the Flavored Jellies:

  • 1 box (3 oz / 85g) greengage jelly (or lime)

  • 1 box (3 oz / 85g) orange jelly

  • 1 box (3 oz / 85g) strawberry jelly

  • 3 cups boiling water (1 cup per jelly flavor)

Feel free to substitute with raspberry, blue raspberry, lemon, blackcurrant, or any jelly you love.

For the Milk Gelatin Base:

  • 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin (e.g., Knox or Halal gelatin)

  • 2 cups boiling water

  • 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk


Equipment Needed

  • 3 medium mixing bowls (one for each jelly flavor)

  • 1 large Bundt pan or silicone mold

  • Mixing whisk or spoon

  • Non-stick cooking spray

  • Measuring cup

  • Sharp knife


Instructions

Step 1: Make the Flavored Jellies

  1. In 3 separate bowls, pour each jelly packet (greengage, orange, and strawberry) into its own bowl.

  2. Add 1 cup of boiling water to each bowl and stir until completely dissolved (about 2 minutes).

  3. Spray 3 small containers or pans lightly with non-stick spray.

  4. Pour each jelly flavor into its own container and refrigerate until fully set, about 2–3 hours.

Step 2: Cut and Arrange the Jelly Cubes

  1. Once the jellies are set, use a sharp knife to cut each flavor into small cubes (around 1-inch squares).

  2. Lightly spray a Bundt pan or decorative mold with non-stick spray.

  3. Gently mix the jelly cubes together and place them randomly in the mold, distributing colors evenly.

For a layered look, you can alternate pouring jelly cubes with milk gelatin layers.


Step 3: Prepare the Milk Gelatin Mixture

  1. In a separate bowl, sprinkle 3 packets of unflavored gelatin over 2 cups boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved.

  2. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature—about 10–15 minutes.

  3. Stir in the entire can of condensed milk and whisk to combine thoroughly.

⚠️ Do not pour hot liquid over the jelly cubes—it could melt them!


Step 4: Pour and Set

  1. Pour the milk gelatin mixture gently over the jelly cubes in the Bundt pan—just enough to cover the jelly or fill the pan.

  2. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles and settle the mixture.

  3. Refrigerate the mold for 2–3 hours minimum, or until fully set and firm to the touch.


Step 5: Unmold and Serve

  1. To unmold, gently loosen the sides of the jelly from the pan using a butter knife.

  2. Place a serving plate upside down over the mold, then invert the mold onto the plate. If needed, briefly dip the bottom of the mold in warm water to help release it.

  3. Slice and serve cold!

Perfect for Eid, birthdays, family gatherings, or just a fun weekend project with kids!
