Instructions

  1. 1 Pour each gelatin mix into a separate bowl. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water into one bowl and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes; stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Repeat to dissolve remaining gelatin colors. Refrigerate all bowls until completely set, 4 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
  3. 3 Remove gelatin from the refrigerator and slice each color into cubes. Transfer cubes to a bowl and gently toss together to mix colors randomly. Transfer into the prepared pan.
  4. 4 Pour remaining 1 cup cold water into a bowl and sprinkle unflavored gelatin over top; let sit until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup boiling water and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.
  5. 5 Combine condensed milk, cream, gelatin mixture, and vanilla in a blender. Blend until smooth and well mixed, about 30 seconds. Pour evenly over gelatin cubes in the cake pan. Use a spatula to evenly distribute milk mixture.
  6. 6 Refrigerate until set, 4 hours to overnight.
  7. 7 Run a knife along the sides of the cake pan and carefully invert cake onto a plate.
