Broken Glass Cake Recipe: A Retro Dessert Delight

Ingredients

• 1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
• 1 (3 ounce) package orange flavored Jell-O® mix
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
• 3 cups boiling water, divided
• 3 cups cold water, divided
• 1 cup canned pineapple juice
• 1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
• 2.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups chilled heavy cream
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Get all of your ingredients ready.
2. Prepare lime, orange, and strawberry gelatin mixes in three separate 9x9-inch glass dishes.
3. Add 1 cup of boiling water to each gelatin flavor; mix until the gelatin completely dissolves.
4. Add 1 cup of cold water to each gelatin flavor, stir to combine, and chill the three gelatin flavors until firm, about 4 hours minimum.
5. Heat pineapple juice in a saucepan until it's hot but not simmering. Mix unflavored gelatin into the pineapple juice until dissolved. Chill the pineapple juice mixture until thickened and cooled, stirring occasionally for approximately 30 minutes.
6. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl. Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for garnish. Press the remaining 2 cups of crumb mixture into the base of a 9x13-inch cake pan to form the crust.
7. Pour cream into a large metal mixing bowl, and use an electric mixer to beat until fluffy with soft peaks forming, around 3 minutes. Gradually add sugar into the whipped cream, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time; then beat in vanilla extract.
8. Cut the set gelatin into cubes of various colors. Use a thin spatula to carefully loosen and lift the cubes from the dish bottoms.
9. Delicately fold the thickened pineapple juice and gelatin cubes into the whipped cream mixture until well combined. Spoon evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust.
10. Evenly sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumb mixture over the cake.
11. Chill until fully set, ideally for at least 3 hours or overnight.
