Ingredients
- 500 ml Full Fat Milk
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (400 grams)
- 3 tbsp Gelatin
- ¼ cup Water (for gelatin)
- 2 packets Instant Strawberry Jello
- 1 cup Strawberries (chopped finely)
- 2 cups Water (for jello)
Instructions
- Step 1: Bloom the gelatin by placing it in a saucepan with ¼ cup water. Mix well and let it stand for 10 minutes. Heat gently until completely melted into a liquid, then set aside.
- Step 2: In another saucepan, combine the full fat milk and sweetened condensed milk. Heat until hot but not boiling. Stir in the melted gelatin using a whisk until fully incorporated.
- Step 3: Pour half of the milk mixture into a glass dish or cake pan. Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes until the milk layer is partially set.
- Step 4: Prepare one packet of instant strawberry jello by mixing it with 1 cup hot water. Stir thoroughly until dissolved and free of lumps. Set aside to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Step 5: Remove the milk layer from the freezer and gently pour the cooled strawberry jello over it. Return to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until this layer is set.
- Step 6: Pour the remaining half of the milk mixture over the set strawberry layer. Freeze again for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
- Step 7: Prepare the second packet of strawberry jello according to package instructions. Stir in the finely chopped strawberries and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Pour this top jelly layer over the milk layer and refrigerate overnight to fully set.
- Step 8: To serve, carefully unmould the pudding onto a plate. Cut into pieces and enjoy the creamy, fruity layers.
Tips & Variations
- For a firmer pudding, chill in the fridge instead of the freezer, extending setting time as needed.
- Replace fresh strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the milk mixture for extra aroma.
- If gelatin is unavailable, use agar-agar but adjust quantities according to the package instructions.
Storage
Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing after the final set as this can affect texture. Reheat is not recommended; enjoy it chilled for the best experience.

FAQs
Can I use low-fat milk instead of full-fat?
Yes, but full-fat milk provides a richer, creamier texture. Low-fat milk will work but may result in a less silky pudding.
How do I unmould the jelly pudding easily?
Run a warm knife or spatula around the edges of the dish, then dip the base briefly in warm water to loosen. Place a serving plate on top and invert carefully.
