Ingredients

For the Milk Jelly Base:

• 2 cups of full-fat milk
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• ½ cup of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder
• ¼ cup of cold water
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

For the Fruit Layer:

• ½ cup of strawberries, sliced
• ½ cup of kiwi, diced
• ½ cup of orange slices (peeled and cut into small segments)
• ¼ cup of pomegranate seeds
• Any other preferred fresh fruits (blueberries, mango, or grapes)

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Gelatin Mixture

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.
2. Once bloomed, gently warm the mixture in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until completely dissolved. Set aside.

Step 2: Heating the Milk Base

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Combining the Milk Base with Gelatin

1. Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the warm milk base, stirring continuously to ensure even incorporation.
2. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to prevent fruits from sinking immediately.

Step 4: Preparing the Mold

1. Lightly grease a rectangular mold or loaf pan to make removal easier.
2. Arrange the sliced fruits in the mold. Be creative with the placement to achieve a visually appealing final look.

Step 5: Pouring the Milk Jelly Mixture

1. Carefully pour the cooled milk mixture over the arranged fruits in the mold, ensuring the fruits are evenly distributed.
2. Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Step 6: Setting the Jelly

1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
2. Once firm, carefully loosen the edges with a knife and invert the mold onto a serving plate.

Step 7: Slicing and Serving

1. Slice into portions and serve chilled.
2. Garnish with extra fruit or a drizzle of honey for added indulgence.
