\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also known as \u201cStained Glass Jello\u201d, this was one of my favorite desserts as a kid, when the Aunties would rotate the family potlucks from house to house, from holiday to holiday. It\u2019s up to my cousins\u2019 kids now to carry on that tradition, which I think they\u2019re still doing, but it gets harder as we all start to break away from the Islands. My second cousin (cousin\u2019s kid?) came to visit us for a few days, which was really nice because we were able to catch up on our family in Hawaii. They wanted to go visit the museum in Downtown L.A.\u2014the one with the dinosaur skeleton that greets you at the entrance? It\u2019s\u00a0something we almost never do, so it was actually very cool!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s all you need to make this dessert. What makes it really special, other than all that color, is the condensed milk gelatin that takes it above and beyond just ordinary Jello.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I found is that my Zojirushi Water Boiler<\/strong><\/span><\/a> really did help here. It basically eliminates a step in having to boil water in a kettle, just to add it to the gelatin each time. Don\u2019t forget I\u2019m doing 4 colors plus the white condensed milk for this recipe. AND I can mix the gelatin right in the measuring cup, which eliminated another step of first measuring the correct amount of hot water and adding it to a bowl.<\/p>\n

Add hot water (2 cups) directly into a can of condensed milk and 2 packs of gelatin to make the white gelatin.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what I mean about mixing the gelatin right in the measuring cup.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve let all the jello harden in the refrigerator (I think I left it in there for a couple of hours), all you do is take it out and slice into cubes.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Put them all in a large tray (like my glass one here).\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then pour in the condensed milk gelatin, which should have cooled off by now. IMPORTANT! Make sure it\u2019s not still hot because it will melt all the jello!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Refrigerate the whole thing, and\u2026tah-da! Psychedelic Broken Glass Jello\u2026far out man! LOL.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was so much fun I might do it again, but next time I might want to do something more sophisticated, like the Coffee Gelatin<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (pronounced \u201ccohee zellee\u201d in Japanese-speak) from the Zojirushi site. Look it up, and try it yourself! For more gelatin recipes using the water boiler, see their Water Boiler recipe page here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.
