Note
For easier cutting, run a knife under hot water and dry it before slicing the gelatin cubes.
You can assemble the glasses up to 4 hours in advance and keep them refrigerated until serving.
Ensure the gelatin is fully set before cutting to maintain clean cube shapes.
For a dairy-free version, use a vegan whipped topping substitute.
Optional: Add fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries between layers for extra texture and flavor.
