Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 10 g unflavored gelatin powder
- 50 ml water
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 tsp liquid stevia (or zero-calorie sweetener of choice)
- 20 g blanched almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the unflavored gelatin powder in 50 ml of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the unsweetened almond milk. Warm it gently until small bubbles begin to form around the edges, but do not let it boil.
Add the dissolved gelatin mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the gelatin is completely melted into the almond milk.
Stir in the almond extract and liquid stevia. Mix well to ensure the sweetener and extract are evenly distributed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any undissolved gelatin or lumps.
Pour the almond milk mixture into individual serving molds or a large dish, depending on your preference.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Once set, unmold the almond jelly by gently running a thin knife around the edges and inverting onto serving plates.
Garnish with blanched almonds if using, and serve chilled.
