How to make Aunt Laura's Stained Glass Cake

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3-oz.) package orange-flavored gelatin
1 (1-oz.) package unflavored gelatin, divided
4 1/2 cups boiling water
1 (3-oz.) package lime-flavored gelatin
1 (3-oz.) package strawberry-flavored gelatin
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup pineapple juice
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir together orange-flavored gelatin, 1 envelope unflavored gelatin, and 1 1/2 cups boiling water until gelatin dissolves. Pour into an 8-inch square pan. Repeat with lime- and strawberry-flavored gelatins, placing each mixture in its own pan. Chill pans until firm.
  • Run a small knife around outer edge of each pan. Cut chilled gelatin into 1/2-inch squares. Dip bottom of pans in warm water for 10 seconds. Unmold gelatin squares onto a jelly-roll pan. Chill until ready to use (up to 24 hours).
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into bottom of a 10-inch springform pan, and bake 10 minutes. Cool completely (about 20 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle remaining 1 envelope unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Microwave pineapple juice in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 minute or until hot. Add hot pineapple juice to gelatin mixture, and stir until gelatin dissolves. Chill until consistency of unbeaten egg whites (20 to 30 minutes).
  • Beat cream, vanilla, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in pineapple mixture until blended.
  • Gently fold three-fourths of gelatin squares into pineapple mixture; pour over crust in pan. Tap pan sharply on counter to remove air bubbles. Top with remaining gelatin. Tap on counter again. Cover and chill 12 hours.
  • Run a small knife around edge of pan, before unlocking sides, to break seal. Remove sides of pan before serving.
