Red White and Blue JELL-O Cups Recipe

I got the mini dessert cups on Amazon, which you can order through this link. They are just 3 ounces, so they are really the perfect individual serving size treat for backyard barbecues and celebrations!

Now, while these Red, White and Blue JELL-O cups are easy to make, they are a bit time consuming. Just a fair warning! As with all JELL-O recipes – heck, even when making regular JELL-O itself – you have to take into account the time it takes the JELL-O itself to set.

If you can make them the day before an event, that’s probably the best way to go about it so that they are ready and totally firm for your party!

Simply top with topping and serve before your guests arrive. I serve these with teeny dessert spoons that you can buy on Amazon or at most Dollar Tree stores. 

How to Make this easy 4th of July Dessert Recipe

Ingredients needed to make this Red White and Blue JELL-O Cups Recipe: 

• 1 large package, 6 oz, blue jello (used berry blue flavor)
• 1 large package, 6 oz, red jello (used cherry flavor)
• water
• 1 can, 14 oz, sweetened condensed milk
• 2 packets, 0.25 oz each, unflavored gelatin
• whipped topping
• red, white and blue sprinkles
• small, 3 oz, cups

Directions for making this Red White and Blue JELL-O Cups Recipe: 

Clear a space in your refrigerator for 2 regular size muffin pans. Lay the dessert cups in the muffin tin on an angle. Remember, you are going to be layering the JELL-O in the dessert cups, so you are going to want to make sure that the layers come out nice and pretty!

In a large measuring cup with a spout, add 1 cup of boiling water and stir in 1 package of blue jello. Mix well, for about 2 minutes, or until completely dissolved.

Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well.

Pour a small amount into each 3 ounce cup and lay on an angle in the muffin tin. Refrigerate until firm, about an hour. 

In a measuring bowl with a spout, add 1/2 cup of cold water and 2 packages of unflavored gelatin.

Let set for about 5 minutes or until thick. Stir in 1-1/2 cups boiling water and mix until smooth. Pour in sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Let set to cool. 

Remove cups from refrigerator and tilt the cups in the opposite direction. Fill each cup with sweetened condensed milk and return to the refrigerator until firm, about an hour. 

Remove cups from the refrigerator and stand them up on a flat surface, or place them, right side up, into a 9×13 baking pan. 

In a large measuring cup with a spout, add 1 cup of boiling water and stir in 1 package of red jello. Mix well, for about 2 minutes, or until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well. Pour into cups, filling to the top. Refrigerate until firm, about an hour. 

Before serving, top with whipped topping and sprinkles.
