04 - 1 envelope (0.25 oz) unflavored gelatin

# How to Make It:

01 - Arrange 8 clear cups with 6 to 8 oz capacity in a stable workspace for easy access during the layering process.
02 - Dissolve red Jello in 1 cup boiling water in a mixing bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water until combined. Divide evenly between cups, approximately 2 tablespoons per cup. Position cups at a slight angle using a muffin tin as support and refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes until completely set.
03 - Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a clean bowl and allow to bloom for 5 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water over the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and cool to room temperature before proceeding.
04 - Once the red layer is completely set, carefully pour the white layer mixture over it, dispensing approximately 2 tablespoons per cup. Return cups to upright position and refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes until the white layer is firm to the touch.
05 - Dissolve blue Jello in 1 cup boiling water in a mixing bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water until combined. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before application.
06 - Once the white layer is completely firm, gently pour cooled blue Jello over the white layer, using approximately 2 tablespoons per cup. Refrigerate upright for a minimum of 2 hours or until fully set throughout.
07 - Top each cup with whipped cream and garnish with fresh blueberries and strawberries if desired. Serve immediately or store refrigerated until ready to serve.
