How to make Almond Jello
Enjoy making this easy, light and delicious Asian dessert.
Hoping you and your family love it!
Ingredients:
2 packets of Knox gelatine (crystals)
1/2 cup of cold water
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups boiling hot water
2 cups of cold 2% or homogenized milk (I think that soy, almond or oat milk would also work.)
2 teaspoons pure almond extract
Serve almond jello with:
1 can of fruit cocktail (traditional)
or your favorite canned fruit (mandarin oranges, lychee, peaches etc..)
or your favorite or seasonal fresh fruit, cut into bite-size pieces.
Method:
1. Place the Knox gelatine into a 4 cup (32 oz ) measuring cup or medium size mixing bowl and add the 1/2 cup of cold water. Mix with a spoon or whisk to separate the crystals.
2. Add the 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 1/2 cups of boiling hot water and mix until the gelatine and sugar crystals are all dissolved.
3. Add the 2 cups of milk plus 2 teaspoons of pure almond extract and mix.
4. Pour into a 8” x 5” container or one of similar size, cover and chill in refrigerator for 3 hours until set or overnight.
5. The almond jello is ready when it if firm, but giggly. Run a knife along the edges of the jello to loosen from the container, and cut the jello into small squares. Be gentle as the almond jello is quite delicate and the squares will break easily.
6. Scoop jello into small bowls and top with fruit cocktail or your favourite fruit. For a more sophisticated presentation, set the almond jello in individual glasses and top with fruit and a mint leaf for garnish.
