Birds Milk Jello Recipe
Description
Birds Milk Jello Recipe uses unflavored gelatin dissolved in warm milk combined with a mixture of sugar, sour cream, and whipped topping to create a creamy base. Half of this mixture is poured into a prepared pan and chilled slightly to set the white layer. The second half is tinted pink using red gel food coloring and spread over the white portion. The dessert is finished by topping with dissolved raspberry gelatin, which adds a bright, fruity contrast to the creamy layers.
The dessert is chilled to allow the layers to set and can be served as a refreshing treat. Its combination of smooth textures from the dairy mixture and the slightly firmer jello layer provides a pleasant mouthfeel.
Ingredients
(note: this is 1/2 of the original ptichye moloko recipe)
- 1 gelatin 1/4 oz (roughly 7 grams or 1 1/2 tsp per packet, unflavored, packet
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 8 oz sour cream tub
- 8 oz whipped topping refrigerated (should be fully thawed, not frozen, tub
- 6 oz raspberry jello
- 2 cups water boiling
- red gel food coloring
Instructions
- Spray a 8x8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. This keeps the jello from sticking to the pan when serving.
- In a small pan, whisk together 1 packet unflavored gelatin with 1/2 cup milk over medium heat. Continue whisking until it just begins to steam, remove from heat (DO NOT BOIL). Set aside to cool.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer over medium speed, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, 8 oz tub of sour cream and a 8 oz tub of cool whip until well blended. Make sure your cool whip is fully thawed and soft or you will have clumps in your jello.
- With the mixer on medium speed, slowly add the warm milk mixture.
- Immediately pour half of the cream into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top.
- Mix red food coloring (a few drops at a time until desired color is reached) into the second half of the cream until well-blended. Quickly spread pink jello over your white cream. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Dissolve jello with 2 cups boiling hot water and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Once jello is cool or just luke-warm, pour the raspberry jello over the bird's milk. You can also add fruit over the top after you pour your jello. Try raspberries or sliced strawberries for an extra tang. Refrigerate jello 2-4 hours, or until jello is set. Have fun with it. Make it unique by adding any kind of jello or food coloring.
