Milk Jelly with Gelatin

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make milk jelly with gelatin? Start by preparing the gelatin. Soak it in boiled water at room temperature — usually you leave it to soak for half an hour. But these days some gelatin comes with package directions specifying the amount of liquid and soaking time, which can vary, so keep that in mind, follow the instructions, and read the article on gelatin at the end of the recipe.

2. Step 2:

   

   I had powdered gelatin, which, after the soaking time on the package, turned into a smooth, grain-free liquid.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour the milk into a metal saucepan or a deep cup. Set it over the heat and bring it to a boil. Add the sugar — you can increase or decrease the amount to taste and depending on what you'll serve the jelly with: sweet syrup, berries, chocolate, or nothing at all. Stir the milk until the sugar fully dissolves, let it come to a boil once more, and remove it from the heat.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the dissolved gelatin into the milk mixture — pour it in a thin stream with one hand while stirring with the other, so the gelatin blends well into the hot milk. Add the vanillin and stir again.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the jelly mixture into molds or directly into the bowls you'll serve it in. Let it cool to room temperature on the counter first, then move it to the refrigerator. Twenty minutes in the fridge is enough for the jelly to set.

6. Step 6:

   

   Coffee syrup, which is easy to make from instant coffee, is a perfect match for milk jelly. Make coffee (without milk) with or without sugar, to taste. Let it cool to room temperature and drizzle it over the jelly before serving. You can garnish the jelly with mint sprigs and fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
