cathedral window gelatin

Cathedral Window is jelly dessert  made of cubed colored gelatin embedded in a soft, creamy and silky mold.  It is called Cathedral Window because the multi-colored jellies resembles the windows of a cathedral. This is also probably one of the most affordable recipe you can make for the holidays that I know will surely be enjoyed by kids and adults. 
Flavored gelatin were also used for the colored gelatin cubes. Also feel free to add more colors if you like and if you like to use unflavored colored ones, it's up to you. But a flavored one is highly suggested.

​I suggest to use a silicone mold for the recipe. It would be great if you can find a dome-shaped one.  They tend to stick to a metal pan and it will be harder to unmold.  Using silicone molds will be less hassle and no need to loosen up the sides because it  will unmold by itself. 
Also, please note that gelatin brands vary on water requirements. The gulaman brand used on this recipe is Mr. Gulaman. So if you are using another brand, make sure to use your best judgement with dilution instruction.
