3 oz blue gelatin – blue raspberry
3 oz red gelatin – cherry or strawberry
1 envelope unflavored gelatin Knox
1⅓ cups boiling water Want to make this alcoholic? Swap out half of the water for vodka in each step below.
1 cup milk
¼ cup granulated sugar
8 maraschino cherries

Set out the disposable cups on a tray. This makes them easier to transfer in and out of the fridge.
Combine ⅔ cup of boiling water and the blue gelatin in a medium bowl and stir until the gelatin is absorbed. Allow the jello to cool a bit before pouring it into each cup - filling until about ⅓ full. Place the cups in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
In a clean medium bowl, sprinkle the clear gelatin over ⅓ cup of milk and allow it to bloom while you boil the remaining ⅔ cup of milk.
Add the boiled milk to the clear gelatin and mix well until the gelatin is fully absorbed. Allow the mixture to cool so it doesn’t melt your chilled blue layer. Pour the white jello on top of the blue jello until about ⅔ full. Return to fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow to set.
Place ⅔ cup of boiling water and red gelatin in a medium bowl and stir until gelatin is absorbed. Allow the jello to cool before pouring it into each cup.
Place a toothpick into each maraschino cherry with a large base so that you can press the toothpick into the white jello to keep the stem upright while the red jello sets. Place cups in the fridge for about 3-4 hours to fully set.
Once fully set, remove the toothpicks.
Keep the jello cups in the fridge up until it is time to serve, and try to keep them chilled while serving too. These cups will keep for several days if airtight.
