Ingredients
  

  • 4 different flavored gelatin powder (strawberry, lime, orange, blueberry)
  • Unflavored gelati
  • Condensed milk
  • Evaporated milk
  • Water
  • Natural vanilla extract
  • Coconut milk (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Colored Layers: Dissolve each flavored gelatin powder in separate glass trays using slightly less water than the package instructions suggest. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until completely firm.
  2. Cube the Gelatin: Once the colored layers are solid, cut them into small, uniform cubes and mix in a bowl.
  3. Bloom the Unflavored Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Create the Creamy Base: Combine evaporated milk and condensed milk in a saucepan, stir in vanilla, and add the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
  5. Cool the Mixture: Let the milk mixture cool to room temperature.
  6. Assemble the Masterpiece: Lightly grease your Bundt pan, scatter the colored cubes inside, and pour the creamy base over the cubes.
  7. Final Chill: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  8. Unmold and Serve: Dip the bottom of the pan in warm water to unmold and serve.

Notes

Ensure colored cubes are cold before adding them to the creamy base to prevent bleeding. Use slightly less water than recommended for the gelatin powders to provide structural integrity.
