Ingredients
You can choose the flavors and colors you like the most! Here is a basic suggestion with 4 colorful layers + 3 creamy layers.
For the colored layers:
- 4 boxes of gelatin in different flavors (e.g. strawberry, lemon, grape, pineapple)
- 800 ml hot water (200 ml for each flavor)
- 800 ml cold water (200 ml for each flavor)
For the white (creamy) layers:
- 1 box of colorless gelatin (12g)
- 1 can of condensed milk
- 1 glass of coconut milk (200 ml)
- 1 box of cream
- 200 ml of hot water (to dissolve the colorless gelatin)
Preparation:
1. Prepare the Colored Gelatins
- Dissolve each gelatin flavor in 200 ml of hot water.
- Mix 200 ml of cold water.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes before using to speed up the cooling process (without letting it harden).
2. Prepare the White Mixture
- Hydrate the colorless gelatin in 5 tablespoons of water and microwave for 15 seconds to dissolve.
- In a blender, beat the condensed milk, cream, coconut milk and dissolved colorless gelatin until smooth.
- Store at room temperature.
3. Assembly (in a baking dish or individual cups)
- Pour the first layer of gelatin (e.g. strawberry) into a baking dish lightly greased with oil.
- Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, until firm.
- Add a layer of the white mixture (thinner) and refrigerate again until firm.
- Repeat the process with the other gelatin flavors, alternating with the white mixture.
- Once all layers are set, refrigerate for another 2 hours before serving.
Tips for Brilliance and Creativity
- Use a silicone mold to make it easier to unmold.
- You can add pieces of fruit to the white layers if you want an even richer version.
- If you want an “ombre” look, mix the colored gelatin with the white gelatin in different proportions.
