"A light, yet filling Mexican dairy geletin-based dessert given to me by an Hispanic friend. This dessert is delicious plain, or can be prepared with fruits if desired. Mandarin oranges or crushed pineapple are awesome. It can be compared (slightly) to Flan, but does not require baking, and Flan doesn't use geletin."
