- 1 1⁄4 cups evaporated milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 kiwi fruits (optional)
- 4 ripe fresh strawberries (optional)
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.

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.

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.
