Colorful Broken Glass Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Colorful Broken Glass Cake.

1. Step 1

   To create a delightful layered gelatin dessert, start by preparing three separate 9x9-inch glass dishes.

2. Step 2

   In each dish, pour in the vibrant lime, orange, and strawberry gelatin mixes.

3. Step 3

   Next, bring 1 cup of water to a boil and pour it into each dish, stirring gently until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

4. Step 4

   Once that’s done, add 1 cup of cold water to each mixture, giving it a good stir to combine.

5. Step 5

   Now, pop those dishes into the refrigerator and let them chill until they’re set, which should take at least 4 hours.

6. Step 6

   While the gelatin is firming up, let’s work on the creamy pineapple layer.

7. Step 7

   In a saucepan, heat the pineapple juice until it’s hot but not boiling.

8. Step 8

   Stir in the unflavored gelatin until it’s completely dissolved, then set it aside to cool and thicken for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep it smooth.

9. Step 9

   Now, let’s make the crust! In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar.

10. Step 10

    Reserve 1 cup of this crumb mixture for later use as a garnish.

11. Step 11

    Press the remaining crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch cake pan to create a delicious crust.

12. Step 12

    Next, it’s time to whip up some fluffy cream! In a large metal mixing bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy, forming soft peaks in about 3 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Gradually add the white sugar, one or two tablespoons at a time, and mix in a splash of vanilla extract for that extra flavor.

14. Step 14

    Once your gelatin has set, cut it into small, colorful cubes.

15. Step 15

    Use a thin spatula to gently lift the cubes from the bottom of the dishes, being careful not to break them.

16. Step 16

    Now, fold the thickened pineapple juice into the whipped cream mixture, adding the gelatin cubes as you go.

17. Step 17

    This is where the magic happens—mix until everything is beautifully combined.

18. Step 18

    Spoon this luscious mixture into your prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.

19. Step 19

    Finally, sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs on top for a delightful crunch.

20. Step 20

    Cover the dessert and return it to the refrigerator to set for at least 3 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long.

21. Step 21

    When you’re ready to serve, you’ll have a stunning, refreshing dessert that’s sure to impress your family and friends! Enjoy every colorful, creamy bite!.
