directions

  • Note: Cook time is the chill time.
  • Measure cold water into small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Let stand for 1 minute.
  • Add sugar to gelatin mixture.
  • Stir until gelatin dissolves.
  • Pour boiling water into medium bowl.
  • Stir in gelatin mixture.
  • Combine milk, vanilla and almond extract. Stir milk mixture into gelatin mixture.
  • Divide mixture between four serving dishes. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
  • Pare and slice kiwis.
  • Arrange kiwi slices and strawberries over each dessert.
  • Gelatin equivalents are One envelope of plain granulated gelatin = 1/4 ounce = 1 tablespoon, enough to gel two cups liquid.
  • Sometimes I substitute vanilla sugar for the sugar. This can be found in most European or gourmet markets. Or, make it yourself by combining two whole vanilla beans and sugar in a canister. The ratio of sugar to beans depends on how strong it is as well as how long you let it sit.

  1. This is a light version of panna cotta. Hits the spot on a hot day when you want something a little sweet but not heavy or filling.
     
  2. Quite unusual but lovely dessert. Though the consistency was that of a soft gelatin, the taste was like a light custard. Nice ending to a Chinese meal. I made mine with Splenda and non-fat evaporated milk. To add a bit more body to the milk, I added a tablespoon of non-fat dry milk powder. Thanks Amis.

My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
