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 have been making this for years using strawberries and strawberry jello, and sour cream mixed with a little sugar for the middle..Peaches sound great and I’ll try it….thanks!
You are welcome Judy, I hope you’ll like it 🙂 .
Hey Natasha, all your recipes are so delish! 😊 I was wondering if I were to make this, would I be able to make it the night before? I plan on making many things for our Thanksgiving celebration, and this just seems so easy and simple!
Yes, absolutely! You could make this the night before or even 3 days before if using canned peaches. The only time you shouldn’t make it too much in advance is if you are using fresh fruit.
My S-i-L made it the other day, following your recipe. Everyone, kids and adults, really liked it!
I wonder how fresh peaches would work instead of canned? Having too many peaches on hand 🙂
Luda, fresh peaches would work as well, just peel off the skins and cut them thin enough to be fully submerged. Hope this helps and thank you for the great review :).
Made this over the weekend and it was very simple and tasty. Kids loved it.
I’m so glad to hear that! 🙂
Made this jello and it was delicious, great for hot summer day. The only thing is that those 3 layers seemed to fall apart easily. The jello is nice and firm but they just come apart. Is it the same case with u or I’m doing something wrong?
I didn’t really have that problem and I’m not sure why that would be. Did you let the jello set completely and also make sure you don’t add too much water to the jello. I hope thats helpful.
Hi Natasha,
I made this jello but had the same problem as Oksana: 3 layers seemed to fall apart easily. I’m not sure what was done wrong as I followed each step. Thanks!
The only thing I could think of is to add a little less water to the jello next time to get a firmer jello. Also, sometimes if there is extra liquid on the peaches, it can cause the jello to be a little looser. I hope that helps.
Do you think this would work with a graham cracker crust on the bottom (like the kind you use for cheesecakes?)I don’t know if the cream layer would soak through the crust.
Or would it maybe work with the sponge cake from your raspberry jello cake recipe? I’d like to try it with a cake or crust on the bottom but with that condensed milk cream layer (that sounds really yummy.) Thanks!
Again, you would want to put the white layer over the cake layer if you wanted to do it that way. If you poured on the peach Jell-O right over the cake layer, it would just soak it up before it had a chance to cool. The white layer is thicker so it should not be absorbed as easily into the cake layer. I hope that makes sense. let me know how it goes and I do hope you post a picture somewhere so I can see it.
It’s possible that it may work if you put the cream layer down right after the Chrome layer and make sure to spread it all the way to the edges. If the peach Jell-O touches the graham cracker crust, it would turn soggy. It’s a little risky, but I think it could work if you did it carefully.
I will definitely make this; it’s just like a Dreamsicle, my fave ice cream bar! I make an Apricot gelatin salad using apricot Jello (duh!), cream cheese, crushed pineapple and mashed, canned apricots. The recipe calls for apricot baby food, which is no longer made! My adult daughters require this for Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanks for sharing that with me! Your salad sounds so good!
Thank you for the recipe Natasha:) I made this today and have been super tempted to try it out all day
You are welcome Marina, enjoy :).
Looks easy enough! I’m making this for Easter dinner. I may try it with orange jello, and mandarin oranges, I’m hoping to get like a dreamcicle flavor.
I love that this recipe is easy to change up with whatever flavor combinations you love. Your ideas sound delicious! I hope your dreamcicle dream comes true 😉
I love your blog and your videos!
I cannot have milk, do you think this will work with soy milk?
Thanks! Dziekuje!
To be honest, I’m not sure how it would work with soy milk instead of condensed milk since they are so different in taste, sugar content and consistency. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you 🙁
Hi Natasha! Will it be runny if it stays at room temp. for an hour? Thanks a lot!
Do you mean the finished jello? It should be just fine at room temp for an hour once it’s been fully set in the fridge 🙂
Thank you Natasha! Can’t wait to try it!
Hi Cher, I hope you enjoy it!
I made this today and it is a wonderful not too sweet dessert. I always loved Jell-O and whipped cream and this reminds me of it, but better! Thank you, once again and always, for all the great recipes you share.
Zina, thank you for the great review and you are welcome :).
I made this jelly. My son is a big fan of jelly))) . I also do another kind of layered jelly – bottom layer is a fruit jelly, then sour cream jelly and the last is a chocolate one. It’s so tasty!!
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe :). I love the idea of a chocolate layer, my son would devour it :D.
Years ago my Mother’s sister did the same, but used sour cream, I fell in love…whenever I would make individual jello for the kids, I always made sure there was sour cream in frig for me, and cool whip or reddi-whip for every one else. This is an old favorite…
Ooh sour cream sounds nice! Are there any other substitutions when using sour cream and is it the same amount as the condensed milk? I bet it gives a nice tang.
Peach jello is our family’s favorite flavor. It’s so easy to make and I always have it when we have guests over and everyone loves it. I’ve never bought the peaches from Costco before I just usually buy the big Dole cans of them in heavy syrup and add the syrup into the jello for flavor. Can’t wait to try it your way with the cream layer!
I like the idea of adding the syrup into the jello for additional flavor. Let me know how you like my version :).
Will be making this soon! I’m really into jello desserts lately
btw I love your GIANT measuring cup 😉
Thank you :). I have a few different sizes and this one is so handy for measuring out liquids in large quantities like for soups or just to use as a mixing bowl because it has a handle and pouring lip 🙂 I hope you love the jello!
Made this twice already,first was peach and second time made raspberry jello with raspberries which turned out amazingly delicious. But noticed both times that the jello layers are not as firm as I wanted-I used 2 hot cups and 2 cold cups so next time I will try using less water.The white part is firmer then the jello layers but I want it to be about the same.But thats just something I prefer 😉
Thanks for awesome recipe!
You make jello look so classy! I love the orange and white crisp layers. I’m also loving your video tutorials and whenever you post a little behind the scene photo on Insta! I am so impressed that you are still posting like a fiend! xo
Awww thanks so much Lindsey. You’re so nice :). Jello deserves it’s moment in the spotlight :). Instagram is my favorite social media. I love connecting with my readers there especially since it’s not filtered like Facebook and even Pinterest now. I’m trying to keep up and even doing a little prep work in advance since the baby could come any day. I’m a major planner 🙂
This looks so good! As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to try it immediately! My husband says creamy jello freaks him out, but I think this will win him over. Can’t wait to get to the grocery store to buy the ingredients!
I would love to hear how it works out :).
Kids always love jello! I love how simple this recipe is.
I agree – it’s easy to make dessert for kids. 🙂
What a fun and simple recipe!
Thank you Shelby 🙂
Thanks for this recipe 🙂 I’m so making it tonight!
That’s awesome! Enjoy! 🙂
