Mix in two cups of pineapple juice. Stir again for about two more minutes or until the pineapple juice is completely mixed in with the jello.
2 cups pineapple juice
Pour the jello mixture into each of the small cups and fill each one about 2/3 of the way full.
Put the baking sheet of jello cups into the refrigerator and chill for one and a half hours.
Bring 1/2 cup water to boil and add it to a heat safe bowl. Pour the unflavored gelatin into the hot water and stir until dissolved.

Stir in the 1/2 cup of coconut water, the sweetened condensed milk, and the coconut extract and vanilla extract if using. Stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.

Pour the mixture into the large liquid measuring cup and use the measuring cups to fill the cups up the rest of the way with the white jello mixture.
Put the baking sheet of jello cups back into the fridge and chill for another one and a half hours or until the jello has fully set.

Notes
Leave out the extracts if you are wanting to save costs and don’t have them on hand. Prep the first two layers then leave the rest for people to decorate on their own as a fun party activity. Wait to decorate until you are ready to serve; adding the crumbs too early will make them mushy as they absorb the liquid from the Jello. Store in the fridge for up to five days, no need to use an airtight container but covering the tops will keep them fresher longIngredient Notes:
Jello - any blue jello works, I prefer berry blue.
Pineapple juice - this can be replaced with another yellow or orange juice like lemonade, mango juice, or something similar.
Extracts - these are great to enhance the flavor but can be skipped in desired.
Coconut water - any brands work as long as it has no pulp.
Graham cracker crumbs - these can be replaced with crushed Vanilla Wafers or Golden Oreos as well.
