Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Gelatin
• ¼ cup Water (for blooming gelatin)
• 2 packets Instant Strawberry Jello
• 1 cup Strawberries (chopped finely)
• 2 cups Water (for jelly preparation)

Instructions

5. Step 5: Remove the half-set milk layer from the freezer. Pour the cooled strawberry jello over it and return to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until set.
6. Step 6: Pour the remaining half of the milk mixture over the strawberry jelly layer. Freeze again for 20 to 30 minutes to set.
7. Step 7: Prepare the second packet of strawberry jello as before, then stir in the finely chopped strawberries. Let it cool for 5 minutes before pouring it over the final milk layer. Refrigerate overnight to fully set.
8. Step 8: To serve, gently unmold the pudding onto a plate. Cut into pieces and enjoy your refreshing milk and strawberry jelly pudding.

Tips & Variations

• Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
• For a firmer jelly, reduce the water slightly when preparing the jello packets.
• You can substitute strawberry jello with other fruit flavors like raspberry or cherry for variety.
• If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of condensed milk slightly.

Storage

Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled to maintain its texture and flavor. When ready to serve again, bring to room temperature for a few minutes or serve cold directly from the fridge. Avoid freezing after the pudding has set, as it may affect the texture.

FAQs

Can I use powdered gelatin instead of sheets?

Yes, powdered gelatin works well. Bloom it in cold water as instructed and melt gently before mixing with the milk.

Can I make this dessert without gelatin?

Gelatin is essential for the pudding’s set texture. For a vegetarian option, you can use agar-agar, but the setting process and quantities may differ.

Scale 1x2x3x

Milk Layers

• 500 ml Full Fat Milk
• 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (400 grams)
• 3 tbsp Gelatin
• ¼ cup Water (for bloomed gelatin)

Strawberry Jelly Layers

• 2 packets Instant Strawberry Jello
• 2 cups Water (divided: 1 cup hot water per packet)
• 1 cup Strawberries (chopped finely)

Instructions

1. Bloom Gelatin: Take 3 tablespoons of gelatin in a saucepan, add ¼ cup of water, and mix well. Let it bloom for 10 minutes to absorb the water fully. Then, gently heat the mixture until the gelatin melts completely and turns into a clear liquid. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Creamy Milk Mixture: In another saucepan, combine 500 ml of full-fat milk and one can (400 grams) of sweetened condensed milk. Heat the mixture until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk in the prepared gelatin liquid thoroughly to ensure it’s evenly incorporated.
3. First Milk Layer: Pour half of the milk and gelatin mixture into a setting tray such as a glass dish or cake pan. Place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes until the milk layer is partially set but not fully firm.
4. Make Instant Jello: Prepare one packet of instant strawberry jello by mixing its contents in a bowl with 1 cup of hot water. Stir well until completely dissolved with no lumps. Allow this mixture to cool for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature so it thickens slightly.
5. Second Jelly Layer: Remove the half-set milk layer from the freezer, then carefully pour the cooled strawberry jello over it. Return the tray to the freezer and let it set for 10 to 15 minutes until firm.
6. Third Milk Layer: Pour the remaining half of the milk and gelatin mixture on top of the set strawberry layer. Freeze again for 20 to 30 minutes until fully set.
7. Top Jelly Layer: Prepare the second packet of strawberry jello by dissolving it in 1 cup of hot water, just like before. Add 1 cup of finely chopped strawberries into the mixture and stir well. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then pour this on top of the third milk layer. Refrigerate overnight to fully set the top layer.
8. Serving: Once fully set, gently unmold the layered jelly pudding onto a serving plate. Cut into pieces and enjoy this creamy and fruity dessert!

Notes

• Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture in the top jelly layer.
• If you prefer a less sweet dessert, adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk or use low-fat milk instead.
• Make sure each layer is partially or fully set before adding the next to maintain distinct layers.
• The dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Freezing times may vary depending on your freezer’s temperature settings; monitor layers closely to avoid over-freezing.
