Step-by-Step Directions
-
Bloom the Gelatin
In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with cold water. Stir well and let it sit for 10–15 minutes until fully bloomed. -
Prepare the Milk Mixture
In a saucepan, combine milk and condensed milk. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring constantly until warm but not boiling. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly. -
Prepare the Fruits
Peel and segment the oranges, removing seeds and membranes. Slice the strawberries, kiwis, and banana into bite-sized pieces. -
Layer the Dessert
In a mold or glass dish, layer the fruits evenly. Pour the slightly cooled milk gelatin mixture over the fruits, ensuring they are fully covered. Tap gently to release air bubbles. -
Chill the Jelly
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set. -
Prepare the Glaze
Blend or gently heat strawberries, lemon juice, water, sugar, and mint leaves until combined. Chill before use. -
Serve
Unmold carefully onto a serving plate. Spoon the strawberry glaze over the top or serve on the side. Serve well chilled.
