Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Freeze/Chill     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups hot water
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Optional:
Fresh or canned fruits, diced
Honey water

Steps:

  • Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Combine the mixture with condensed milk and almond extract in a container. Stir until combined. Pour into a rectangular mold lined with plastic wrap. Chill until set, about 3 hours. Remove jelly from mold. Cut into small cubes. Serve with fruit in honey water, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, natural, and organic ingredients whenever possible. This will result in a better-tasting and healthier almond jelly.
  • Soak the almonds overnight: This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend. You can also peel the almonds before soaking them, but this is optional.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help to create a smooth and creamy almond mixture. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the mixture for longer.
  • Don't overcook the almond mixture: Overcooking the almond mixture will make it thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it reaches a simmer, then remove it from the heat.
  • Chill the almond jelly before serving: This will help it to set and firm up. You can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

Almond jelly is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its delicate flavor and smooth texture, almond jelly is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
