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!
Could I substitute orange jello for the peach? I need to get a gelatin that doesn’t have artificial colors.
Hi Betty! That should be fine.
One more question. Since I’d be using orange jello, would drained mandarin oranges work in place of peaches? It would be an orange cream instead of peaches and cream.
Hi Betty, I bet that could work – using drained mandarin oranges. Just adjust the quantities of mandarin to your liking and please let me know how you like the recipe with that substitution. I hope you love it.
Hey, what if I substitute the water in the middle layer with milk? Do you think that will work?
I have not tested this to advise.
Hi… Can add in flavour or colour in the cream layer? Thanks
Hi Angel, I haven’t tested that to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Thanks for the answer. I have another question. How long does jello last?
Hi Angel, 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.
Hi Natasha, where do you get peach jello. Can’t find it anywhere.
P.S. love your recipes, I use them to bake and my husband uses them to cook. Thank you
Hi Alla, you can try it at the grocery stores or online.
I can’t find peach jello either, but you can sub by using peach juice and add unflavoured gelatine. It’s about 1 tablespoon of gelatine for 1 cup of liquid for firm set, or for medium set use 2 teaspoons of gelatine for 1 cup of liquid.
I made a typo earlier. I meant to say 2 cups of peach juice with 1 tablespoon of unflavoured gelatine. I tried this recipe doing that way and it was super good.
Natasha, thank you for all your amazing jello recipes, I’ve tried many, they are superb! Would this particular jello be possible to make with a cake collar (acetate) ? I wonder if it would hold up or would it be too runny?
Hi Katie, I haven’t tried this is a cake collar to advise it will hold up. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
I made these into little jello cups and they turned out so pretty and delicious!! Question- to make it for a party, how many days ahead do you think I can make this in advance? Thanks 🙂
Yum! That sounds delicious! 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.
Hi Natasha, Just wondering if you could substitute orange jello for the peach? I can’t find any peach jello.
Hi Eileen, that should still work well with orange jello.
Hello Natasha. Yesterday I made this. Today I brought to our parents house & everyone who tried it said it was good & asked who made it. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I really want to try the sponge cake & jello. By the way we tried 2x already the pretzel cake it was very good.😀👍💖
You’re so welcome! Thank you for that great feedback! I’m happy you all enjoyed that.
That looks delicious! Unfortunately, I can’t eat that Jell-O because I am not allowed to eat gelatin. But maybe I will find a kosher version of this Jell-O and make this recipe 🙂
It’s super good! If you find and make a kosher version please let me know how it turns out!
Use agar-agar instead. It’s asian “gelatin”. It comes from seaweed and does exactly the same thing. Good for vegans. 🙂
Made it with strawberries instead of peaches
Turns out like strawberries and cream brilliant. Thanks for the idea
You’re welcome Mary! That sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
Can I use milk to replace condensed milk?
Hi Queenie, I haven’t tested that substitution so I really can’t say for sure if it would set properly since milk is thinner than condensed milk.
Hi, I have a doubt. every time I try to cut the jello it sticks to the bottom of the pan/dish. Yours came out beautiful and clean. I make the jello according the package instructions. Can you share how to cut the jello.
Hi Aarti, are you using a glass casserole dish? I used a thin edged spatula to get under the jello when serving and it worked well.
I would say you *must* use ice water and even then keep the first layer in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours before you add the white layer. Mine mixed after an hour and I had to keep cooling. I needed to cool the third layer colder than room temp and even then I had one spot that mixed. Next time I will lessen the water in both of the orange layers. It is a miracle I got the three layers back in fridge and not all over my floor 😉 As to the taste…yummy! My 4 year-old grandson could not stop saying how much he liked it. Everyone ate two pieces.
Gretchen, thank you for underlining the ice water step, I’m glad it worked out and thank you for such a nice review 😀.
It looks very beautiful and tasty, am definitely going to make 👌🏻
This dessert is so great!Made it few times already with different jello variations. I recently discovered homemade raw condensed milk recipe- 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, 1.5 tbs butter -bring all ingredients to boil on low heat, once boiling increase t to medium and cook 10 minutes, be sure to use high sauce pan cuz it very bubbly. Turns out just like store bought and let it cool to room t and then refrigerate….its awesome
Wow thank you so much for sharing that with me! Now I’m excited to make my own! 🙂
let me know how yours turns out when u try it 🙂
This is such a delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the great review! I’m so happy you loved it 🙂
So I made this recipe for Easter and let me telll you, Im not sure if the grown ups or the kiddos loved it more:) SO I did however make one “replacement” that you might flip over and run to the kitchen to try. The middle part with the condensed milk and water did not sound “appealing”, just something with the thought of condensed milk being diluted and made less sweet made me sad LOL anywayssss, I did what any hopeless cook would do and substituted the middle part with your penna cotta filling(minus the berries of course) and OMG, taste buds were everywhere!!! I put two of your recipes in one 🙂 thank you this blog it truly honestly saves those girls who have a hard time with measuring cups let alone cooking. hehe 🙂
pss.. I have made your penna cotta for my mamas birthday before and no one even touched the cake they loved it so much! who knew something so easy can taste so magical?
I’m so happy you love the panna cotta! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing that tip with me. I printed your comment to try it next time! 😉
Hi Natasha,
My Grandsons and I love this and, years ago, my Mom made something similar but, being from Lviv, it was always heavy cream and loads of butter for her on everything. Can we substitute whipped cream for the condensed milk like she used, if yes, how much to use?
Thanks,
Bo
I’m so glad you enjoyed my Jell-O recipe! Without knowing what kind of recipe you are referring to specifically and trying it out myself, it is really difficult to guess. Sorry, I can’t be much help with that question.
For some reason this recipe doesn’t pin 🙁
Not sure if I’m doing something wrong
Oh no! Which way were you using to pin the recipe? I would love to get this fixed quickly! I tried pinning from the picture (the pin button shows up when you hover over the photo) and the pin button at the bottom of the post and both seemed to be working. Please let me know. Thank you so much for your help and feedback! 🙂
Dear Natasha
I made this recipe but after adding the last part, some of the peaches came off and the cream melted a little bit while the jelly was not hot. Should I have waited more to get to the room temperature?
Hi Nina, yes that happened to me with a different jello recipe because the jello was still warm when I added it. Definitely wait until it gets to room temperature.
this looks so good, I’m going to make it for Thanksgiving. Thanks!
Awesome! Happy Thanksgiving!
