- Be sure to let each flavor fully set before cutting to avoid mixing colors.
- Chill the dessert long enough so the condensed milk mixture firms up properly and holds the jello cubes together.
- Serve chilled for the best refreshing taste and texture.
- Can be made a day in advance and kept refrigerated in an airtight container.
