My sister made this jello for our recent church potluck. I loved that it wasn’t overly sweet and the cream layer in the center was so perfectly smooth. I called her right after and wrote out the recipe in detail. I knew you all would love it too. It was my favorite dessert that day.
The flavors came together really well. It’s SO EASY! With just 4 ingredients, you’ll think – “that’s it?” Yep, that’s it. 🙂 Enjoy this yummy, kid-friendly layered jello recipe. I’m just dreaming up all kinds of flavor possibilities with this. Ultra yum.
To show you all just how easy this recipe is, we’ve created a video tutorial for you 🙂

Ingredients for Peaches and Cream Jello:
2 pkgs. (6 oz each) peach jello, made according to package instructions
2 packets unflavored gelatin (2 packets = 14 grams or 1 1/2 Tbsp )
1 cup boiling hot water + 1 cup cold water
14 oz can sweetened Condensed milk
15 oz can sliced peaches, cut into 1/2″ thick slices
You will need:
Glass 9×13 casserole dish
How to Make a Layered Jello:
1. Make the first peach flavored jello according to package instructions (I used 2 cups ice water for it to cool faster), pour into a 9×13″ glass pan and refrigerate until set (1-2 hrs).
2. After the first layer of jello has been in the fridge at least 45 mins, start on your cream layer: In a medium bowl, combine 2 packets of unflavored gelatin with 1 cup boiling water and stir until fully dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water. Pour in condensed milk and stir with a spoon until blended. Let cream layer sit at room temp (no more than 45 min), then gently pour over your set jello layer.
3. Once cream layer is nearly set (this takes about 5 min in the fridge), top with slices of peaches. Note: If you want the peaches to stay put in a pattern and not float up, you want to place them on the cream layer before it is fully set. Place back in the fridge to fully set.
4. You want to start your last jello layer right after the cream layer goes into the fridge. Make the second package of peach flavored jello according to package instructions and let sit on the counter until it is room temperature (30 min – it’s faster if you use ice water) then gently pour over the top of your set peaches and refrigerate until entire jello is fully set. Note: Do not pour warm jello over the cream layer or it will start to melt and become mottled.

How do YOU get creative with jello? I want to know!
I LOVE ALL OF YOUR RECIPES. BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY ❤️
Thank you so much!
The jello was fine, and yes the kids loved it. My main frustration is with the unflavored gelatin. When I combined the packets of gelatin with the cup of hot water, my gelatin clumped up and would not dissolve. I had to research how to bloom gelatin, and then make another trip to the grocery store to replace the ruined gelatin. I also thought that the 15 ounce can of peaches looked like too little fruit, so I went to the store yet again and bought a second can.
Hi Jane, make sure to slice the pieces which should end up being enough to form a layer of peaches. Make sure the temperature of the liquid is correct or the gelatin won’t bloom. The water should be boiling hot. You can heat it more in the microwave in short increments if the gelatin is being stubborn.
I love this recipe! Today I changed it up a little and made it with pineapple jello and for the cream layer I boiled 1 cup of coconut milk (on medium stirring entire time. Then poured that into the plain gelatin packets, then once dissolved whisked in the remaining coconut milk, and then the sweetened condensed milk. It was like a pina colada jello and was so good!
That sounds amazing!
