Tangerine Milk Jelly Dessert
Ingredients:
- 4 tangerines
- 1 plastic bottle (1.5L size, clean and empty)
- 1 barbecue stick (or skewer)
- 1 pack of condensed milk (395g)
- 200ml of milk
- 40g of unflavored gelatin powder
- 120ml of water
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tangerines:
- Peel the tangerines and separate them into segments. Remove any seeds.
- Set aside for later.
- Prepare the Gelatin:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the unflavored gelatin powder in 120ml of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- After the gelatin has bloomed, heat it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or on the stove, stirring until it is fully dissolved and smooth.
- Make the Milk Mixture:
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk and regular milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it’s warm (but not boiling).
- Add the dissolved gelatin into the warm milk mixture and stir until everything is fully incorporated.
- Fill the Plastic Bottle:
- Take the clean plastic bottle and cut off the top, if necessary, to create an opening large enough to pour the mixture inside.
- Place the tangerine segments into the plastic bottle.
- Carefully pour the milk and gelatin mixture into the bottle, covering the tangerine segments. Tap the bottle gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the bottle in the refrigerator and allow the gelatin to set for at least 4 hours, or until it’s firm to the touch.
- Serve:
- Once the gelatin is set, gently remove the dessert from the plastic bottle by cutting it open or peeling the bottle away.
- Use a barbecue stick or skewer to slice the jelly into rings, revealing the tangerine segments inside.
Tips:
- If you want more flavor from the tangerines, you can gently mash them before adding them to the gelatin mixture.
- You can add a little extra flavor to the milk mixture by infusing it with a bit of vanilla or a citrus zest.
- To make the dessert even more fun, try adding different fruits like berries or kiwi.
