1/2 cup of sugar
2 cups of milk
3 tablespoons of cornstarch
1 packet of unflavored gelatin
Assorted fresh fruits (kiwi, strawberries,
oranges, pomegranate seeds, etc.)
1/4 cup of warm water (to dissolve the gelatin)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:
Begin by preparing the milk mixture. In a saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the cornstarch and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens to a smooth consistency.
This will form the creamy base of your cake. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Next, dissolve the unflavored gelatin in warm water. Pour the gelatin into the milk mixture and stir gently to incorporate.
This will give the dessert its jelly-like texture. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the milk pudding, then set this aside to cool completely.
Prepare the fruits for the cake. Wash and peel any fruits as needed, and cut them into small bite-sized pieces.
For example, peel and slice the kiwi, hull and slice the strawberries, and segment the oranges. You can mix and match the fruits based on your preference or what’s in season.
Ensure that the fruits are fresh and vibrant to make the dessert visually appealing.
Once the milk mixture has cooled down but is still slightly warm, layer the bottom of a baking dish or a serving container with your prepared fruits.
This will form the base layer of your fruit jelly milk cake. Arrange the fruits evenly across the surface.
making sure to leave some space between them to allow the jelly to set around them.
Now, pour the cooled milk mixture gently over the arranged fruits. Try to cover the fruits evenly so that they are partially submerged in the creamy milk pudding.
The milk mixture will slowly settle around the fruits, creating a smooth and uniform layer. Let it cool at room temperature for a while before transferring the dish to the refrigerator.
Refrigerate the dessert for a few hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the jelly to set completely. The gelatin will firm up and hold everything together.
creating a firm, jelly-like texture around the creamy milk base and fruits. The dessert should be fully chilled before serving.
Before serving, you can garnish the top with extra fresh fruit or even a drizzle of honey or syrup for extra sweetness.
Slice the cake into squares or serve it in individual portions, and enjoy this cool, creamy, and fruity dessert.
