Layered Jelly
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I've always been fascinated by these transparent, wobbly layers, but I'd never tried making such a beauty myself. However, my niece's birthday was approaching, and I decided to surprise her, which is when I found this recipe for layered jelly. I tried it—and succeeded! Actually, there's absolutely nothing complicated about it. The only thing that slightly tired me was the constant need to chill each layer. But the kids were overjoyed, and the jelly disappeared within minutes. Now I'd like to share my successful experience with you and explain how to make layered jelly on your own. Serve chilled.
Instructions

Step 1
First, we need to prepare the gelatin according to the instructions. So we start by soaking it in a small amount of cold water, and once it swells, we pour a glass of boiling water into it.

Step 2
Immediately add one-third of the cherry or strawberry powder to the gelatin mixture. Gently stir until the granules are completely dissolved.

Step 3
Now we need to spray the molds in which we'll make the jelly with non-stick spray or grease them with butter. Then pour in the first layer of jelly, and once it has cooled slightly, place it in the refrigerator.

Step 4
Now add 2 packets of gelatin and pour water over it again (one quarter cup), let it swell, then mix thoroughly. Pour half of the condensed milk into a plate and add the gelatin mixture to it, mix well.

Step 5
Remove the pan with the first layer from the refrigerator and pour one-third of the prepared mixture into it. If bubbles form on the surface, carefully prick them with a toothpick.

Step 6
We put the mold in the refrigerator, and in the meantime we start preparing the next layer from dry jelly; this and all subsequent layers are made according to the same scheme as the first layer.

Step 7
We continue layering until all ingredients are used up. Remember to chill each new layer in the refrigerator before adding the next one. Once all layers are in the mold, refrigerate the jelly for about 3 hours before serving. Cut the finished jelly into squares or any desired shapes, arrange on your festive table, and enjoy your meal!
