Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let the milk come to a boil.
Once the milk is heated, remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is completely dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract to the milk mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a square or rectangular dish (preferably an 8x8-inch dish) for easy slicing later. Let it cool to room temperature before covering it with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is fully set and firm.
Once set, gently run a knife along the edges of the dish to release the jellied milk. Carefully invert it onto a cutting board if you want to remove it, or leave it in the dish.
Cut the jellied milk into uniform cubes using a sharp knife. Serve chilled and enjoy this fun, wobbly treat.
