I've seen it called Finger Jello. I think maybe you didn't do anything wrong, it is just not like normal jello that you eat with a spoon. Sorry it didn't go well. @Julie&June – every time I have seen this dessert, it is served cut into rectangles. I’ve seen it called Finger Jello.

We put the jello in clear plastic cups to serve easily to my daughter's Brownies troop. They looked beautiful but you couldn't get a spoon through them. Yich. Not sure what went wrong -- any thoughts? The microwave trick for keeping the milk from solidifying worked but overall they were a disaster. Oh no, it didn’t work at ALL — it was way too hard to eat.

We all love it! Three years ago my oldest was diagnosed with a milk and egg allergy, two years ago her sister joined her. Now we make it with either soy yogurt (which doesn't set as well) or just leave the white layer out entirely. It looks really cool as just jello (each color fades into the next just like a rainbow) and the different flavors combining together are a lot of fun! I may have to try a sweetened condensed soy milk. Thanks! My grandma makes this except she uses vanilla or plain yogurt instead of sweetened condensed milk. We all love it!

I just finished my first attempt at this layered Jello- PERFECT! QUICK NOTES FOR TROUBLESHOOTING: - For those worried of your hard work sticking~ Although mayo is yucky, a light spray of Pam is great and doesn't affect the taste or texture of the Jello. - While pouring in the layers, make sure the jello is cooled as close to room temp as possible (Certainly never more than lukewarm) I found that mixing the next colored jello just after pouring in a colored layer worked well and allowed my colored jello to cool down on counter in half hour. - For milk mixture, if it gets too cool, it can solidify before it's time to pour. To avoid jelling, I brought my milk mixture temp back up to lukewarm by setting my bowl over the steam some boiling water in a pan- like a double boiler. However, please note that the mixture was never over continuous heat. I simply boiled some water in a medium pan, took off the heat, and put the milk mixture bowl on top until I needed to use it next. I did this twice, after I added each milk layer. (But I can see that you might need to do more frequently if on the mainland, since it's generally colder than Hawaii) Good luck! The reward is totally worth the process : ) AMAZING & DELICIOUS!

(From Japan to Sacramento to now, Germany) I originally did this recipe and your shave ice cupcakes for a Spongebob/Luau party my son was having. They were both a hit. The kids LOVED the jello and even the adults were fooled by the cupcakes. I did use the mayo to prevent sticking for the jello. I'm a little ahem, "detail oriented" (insert less PC word here!) that way and, can't even taste it. Ignorance it bliss in this situation for my family :) I've tried both without mayo and with mayo and with the mayo, it does slip out easier (though both ways works fine in my pyrex). Thanks for everything you do! I'm always tuned in! This recipe has become a regular for this household.

I'm getting confused on what part you're supposed to replace water with alochol...not sure if you ever do this with your jello recipes! Do you have any idea how to turn this into an alcoholic treat?

Don't move the dish in and out of the frige! Also, don't rush the layers - they really do need to set up well before you pour the next layer in. I make this recipe with 6 layers so I'll do 3 layers in the evening and then the other 3 layers the next morning.
