Step 3: Combine Milk and Fruit Puree

  1. Mix Fruit Puree into Milk: Once the milk is warm, add the fruit puree to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  2. Add Sweetener: Stir in the sugar (or preferred sweetener) until fully dissolved.

Step 4: Add Gelatin

  1. Melt the Gelatin: After the gelatin has bloomed, gently heat it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until it turns into a liquid form. Be sure not to overheat it.
  2. Incorporate Gelatin into Milk Mixture: Slowly pour the melted gelatin into the warm fruit-infused milk mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined.

Step 5: Set the Jellies

  1. Prepare Molds or Dishes: Lightly grease your jelly molds or small bowls. If you don’t have molds, you can use any shallow dish or even silicone muffin trays.
  2. Pour the Mixture: Pour the fruit-infused milk mixture into the molds. If you want to add fresh fruit chunks, drop them into the mixture now.
  3. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the milk jellies for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. If you’re in a hurry, you can speed up the process by placing them in the freezer for an hour or two, but don’t leave them too long.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Unmold the Jellies: Once the jellies have fully set, carefully remove them from the molds. If you’re using silicone molds, gently push them out; if using regular molds, run a knife around the edges to loosen.
  2. Garnish: Top with extra fruit slices or mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Flavor Variations

The best part about fruit-infused milk jellies is the versatility. You can easily customize the flavor to suit your preferences. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

  • Tropical Twist: Use a combination of mango, pineapple, and coconut milk for a tropical version.
  • Berry Delight: Mix strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a berry-filled treat.
  • Citrus Punch: Try oranges, lemons, or limes for a tangy citrus flavor.
  • Exotic Mango: A smooth mango puree combined with a hint of vanilla makes for a rich, tropical dessert.

Tips for Perfect Milk Jellies

  • Gelatin Substitute: If you prefer a vegetarian or vegan version, you can replace the gelatin with agar-agar, a plant-based alternative. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package for the proper ratio.
  • Consistent Texture: If you want a smoother texture, strain the fruit puree to remove seeds or pulp before mixing it with the milk.
  • Flavor Combinations: Feel free to experiment with different fruits and even spices like cinnamon or ginger to create unique flavors.
