Ingredients
-
1 can evaporated milk, chilled
-
1 3-oz package Jello (the flavor should complement your fruit, if used)
-
1 cup boiling water
-
Fruit of choice
Directions
-
Boil water
-
Dissolve Jello in the boiling water
-
Whip milk with a mixer until thick. If the evaporated milk is not very cold it will not get thick.
-
Slowly pour Jello mix into the milk until well mixed. I find if the Jello is not allowed to cool slightly it will "unthicken" the milk.
-
Put in dessert bowls and add fresh or frozen fruit
-
You can eat immediately or refrigerate and eat later as a cooler dessert or snack
-
If refrigerate, cover or the top will dry and the texture changes as well as not looking as palatable
Cook’s Note
- If using sugar free Jello and regular can of evaporated milk, 1/10 a serving (a soup ladle or about 5/8 cup) is 52 calories, 4 Carbs, 4 g sugar, 3 g protein, and 2 g fat If I'm using fruit, I typically put a layer on the bottom of the dish and decorate the top either by putting a piece on the side of the bowl (like a slice of lemon on a water glass) or laying it on the top. Use your creativity.
