Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream

- 1.25 cups sugar
- 0.75 cup unflavored gelatin powder
- 0.75 cup hot water
- 2 cups water

Once combined, remove the transparent jello mixture from the heat and let it cool. Remove the set vanilla jello pudding from the refrigerator, divide it into 8 equal sections, and remove every other slice from the bundt cake pan.
- Place the chopped pineapple, chopped mango, chopped strawberries, and green grapes in the gaps left in the bundt cake pan.
- Pour the transparent jello mixture over the fruit, transfer the bundt cake pan to the refrigerator, and chill for another 2 hours, preferably overnight.
