Red, White and Blue Gelatin Squares
One of my favorite gelatina flavors is the white, creamy flavor sweetened with sweetened condensed milk. I had to incorporate that layer with Parmalat Nata Crema para Desayuno into this layer. It worked beautifully. The layer usually firmed up bright white and made my gelatina squares beautiful following the Fourth of July theme. The sprinkles are a bonus. They made this fun dessert look like little firework squares. The kids will love it.
