Jelly and evaporated milk recipe

When it comes to cooking with kids I like to keep things simple, and with just three ingredients in this jelly fluff recipe it sure is simple! I also love that it provides Immy (who is nearly seven) with the chance to put to use some of her more advanced kitchen skills, including safely managing boiling water and the electric beater.

Jelly Fluff Recipe

You will need:

• 1x 85gm packet jelly crystals – we used raspberry flavoured
• 1 cup boiling water
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk, chilled

Optional:

• Whipped cream
• Strawberries
• Candy hearts, heart chocolates, sprinkles or other decorations to top

To make:

1. Dissolve jelly crystals in boiling water and then set aside to cool completely (but do not let set).

Optional – we added a little of the jelly to each of our party glasses and placed them in the fridge to set.

2. Place evaporated milk into a large bowl (it fluffs up a lot) and beat with an electric beater for 4-5 minutes.

3. Stir through the cooled jelly mixture until well combined. Place fluff into serving glasses, ramekins, bowls or moulds and place into the fridge to set.

4. Decorate set pudding with a simple strawberry heart, or a little whipped cream and chocolate heart, or your choice of decoration. Serve chilled.
