¼ cup Water (for blooming gelatin)
2 packets Instant Strawberry Jello
1 cup Strawberries (chopped finely)
2 cups Water (for jello preparation)

Step 3: Pour half of the milk mixture into a glass dish or cake pan. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes until it is half set.

Step 5: Pour the cooled strawberry jello over the half-set milk layer. Return to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until it is set.
Step 6: Remove the dish and pour the remaining milk mixture over the strawberry jelly layer. Freeze for another 20 to 30 minutes until set.
Step 7: Prepare the second packet of instant strawberry jello and mix in the chopped strawberries. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then pour this top layer over the milk layer. Refrigerate overnight until fully set.
Step 8: To serve, gently unmold the pudding onto a serving plate. Cut into pieces and enjoy your creamy, fruity dessert.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
For a vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar and use coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
If you prefer a less sweet pudding, reduce the amount of condensed milk slightly.

Storage

Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness. When ready to eat, serve chilled or at room temperature. Avoid freezing as it might alter the texture of the gelatin layers.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different flavor of jelly instead of strawberry?

Yes, you can substitute strawberry jello with any other flavor you like, such as raspberry, cherry, or orange, to create a unique twist on the pudding.

How do I prevent the layers from mixing?

Make sure each layer is partially or fully set before adding the next. Chilling in the freezer as instructed helps the layers firm up quickly and keeps them distinct.

3 tbsp Gelatin
¼ cup Water

Strawberry Jelly

2 packets Instant Strawberry Jello
2 cups Water
1 cup Strawberries (chopped finely)

Instructions

Bloom Gelatin: Take the gelatin in a saucepan, add ¼ cup water and mix well. Let it bloom for 10 minutes. Then heat gently until it melts completely into a liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.
Creamy Milk Mixture: In another saucepan, combine the full fat milk and sweetened condensed milk. Heat until hot but not boiling. Pour in the gelatin liquid and whisk thoroughly to incorporate.

Serving: Remove the pudding from the fridge. Gently unmold it onto a serving plate, cut into pieces, and serve chilled.

Notes

Ensure gelatin is fully melted and fluid before mixing to avoid lumps.
Freeze times may vary depending on your freezer; adjust as needed to achieve proper setting.
For easier unmolding, dip the bottom of the dish briefly in warm water.
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture in the top layer.
This dessert should be served chilled and is best consumed within 2 days.
