Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1/4 cup water
- Assorted fresh fruits for topping
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of almond milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of gelatin, 1/4 cup of water, and assorted fresh fruits for topping.
- In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and 1/4 cup of water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- While the gelatin is blooming, pour 1 cup of almond milk into a saucepan. Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the almond milk and stir well to combine.
- Heat the almond milk mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not let it come to a boil.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the warm almond milk and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Pour the almond milk and gelatin mixture into a mold or individual serving cups. Allow it to cool at room temperature for a few minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer the mold or cups to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until the jelly is set.
- After the almond jelly has set, carefully unmold it if using a mold, or simply serve it in the cups.
- Top the almond jelly with assorted fresh fruits of your choice, such as sliced strawberries, kiwi, or mango.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Almond Jelly with Fruit!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality almond milk for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- When blooming gelatin, ensure the water is room temperature to help it dissolve evenly.
- Stir the almond milk mixture constantly while heating to prevent scorching and ensure even sugar dissolution.
- For a more intense almond flavor, consider adding a few drops of almond extract.
- Choose fruits that are ripe but firm for the best topping—strawberries, kiwi, and mango work wonderfully.
- Chill the jelly for at least 2 hours to achieve the perfect wobble and set.
- For a professional presentation, use clear glass serving cups to showcase the beautiful layers.
- If you're dairy-free or vegan, confirm your gelatin is plant-based or use agar-agar as an alternative.
