Equipment

1 silicon gelatin pan for about 6 cups gelatin

Ingredients
Cups (US) - Metric

▢ 2 cups strawberries (divided)
▢ 1-3 oz package strawberry flavored gelatin
▢ 2 Tbsp unflavored gelatin (or 6 sheets)
▢ ½ cup sugar
▢ 1 cup milk
▢ 3 ¼ cups water (divided)

Instructions

Wash the strawberries, remove the tops, and chop them into small pieces. You’ll need 2 cups, divided.
In a small bowl, mix ¾ cup of water with the unflavored gelatin and let it sit while you prepare the first layer.
Heat 1 cup of water in a saucepan until it boils, then turn off the heat. Stir in the strawberry-flavored gelatin until dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water and mix well. Pour into a mold and let it cool slightly once it’s no longer hot but still liquid.
Add 1 cup of chopped strawberries, spreading them evenly. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes until it starts to set.
Meanwhile, place the remaining 1 cup of strawberries in a saucepan with ½ cup of sugar and ½ cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes until softened, then blend until smooth. Let it cool completely, then stir in 1 cup of milk.
Melt the hydrated gelatin in the microwave or using a bain-marie, then combine it with the strawberry milk mixture.
Carefully pour the strawberry mixture over the first layer and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
To unmold, dip the bottom of the mold in warm water for a few seconds. Slice and serve with whipped cream and fresh strawberries if you like.

Notes

Make sure the milk and strawberries mixture are at room temperature before mixing, to prevent the mixture from curdling.
Make sure the first layer of strawberry jello is just set to the point it won’t mix with the milk mixture, don’t allow it to set completely or the milk jello will slip off when you unmold it.
