Transcript
00:00 This cake is filled with broken glass.
00:02 I'm gonna start by heating up one cup of pineapple juice
00:04 and then stir in some unflavored gelatin
00:06 until it's dissolved and refrigerate it
00:08 until it's thickened, about 30 minutes.
00:10 This recipe is built upon a graham cracker crust.
00:12 That's just graham cracker crumbs
00:13 with melted butter and brown sugar.
00:15 Reserve some of the graham cracker mixture for the topping.
00:17 Press it on the bottom of a 9x13.
00:18 For the glass, think stained glass,
00:20 and that's made with Jell-O.
00:21 I've mixed up a box of strawberry, lime, and orange.
00:23 We're gonna cut that up into glass shards.
00:25 Does it look like glass?
00:27 Once the pineapple mixture is cooled and thickened,
00:28 I'm gonna fold that into our sweetened whipped cream
00:31 and then add in our gelatin cubes.
00:33 This all gets poured straight into the graham cracker crust
00:35 and then sprinkle it with more graham crackers for garnish.
00:37 Refrigerate at least three hours or overnight.
00:39 Chilled, ready to go, and it's time to slice into.
00:42 Is there broken glass in there?
00:43 (gasps)
00:44 It's kinda funny.
00:45 It reminds me of something my grandmother would have made.
00:48 I'm not mad at it at all.
00:49 It kinda bursts with those little bites of Jell-O.
00:51 I mean glass.
00:52 I think you should give broken glass cake a try.
