Ingredients
400 ml hot water
2 packets cherry-flavored gelatin (25 g each)
1 ¼ cups powdered milk
100 ml cold water
Instructions
Add the hot water and cherry gelatin to a blender. Blend until the gelatin fully dissolves.
Add the powdered milk and blend again until smooth and creamy.
Pour in the cold water and blend one more time until everything is well combined.
Lightly grease a bundt pan or any mold with a little oil. Pour the mixture into the mold.
Place in the refrigerator for about 3 hours, or until completely set.
Once firm, gently remove from the mold. Serve as is or sprinkle a little powdered milk on top if you like.
Tips
You can swap cherry gelatin with strawberry, orange, or any flavor you love
For a creamier texture, blend a little longer
Run a knife around the edges before unmolding if it sticks
Result
You get a soft, creamy, slightly fluffy dessert that melts in your mouth with a fruity flavor—super easy and budget-friendly

Over time, creative variations appeared, especially in Latin America and Europe, where people started mixing gelatin with milk or cream to create smoother, mousse-like textures.
