A creamy, colorful treat that's refreshing, sweet, and full of tropical vibes!
Ingredients:
For the Ube Jelly:
-
1 packet unflavored gelatin (or ube-flavored if available)
-
2 cups water
-
½ cup sugar
-
1 tsp ube extract (or vanilla extract as a substitute)
-
Purple food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ube Jelly:
-
In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar, and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
-
Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the mixture from heat.
-
Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
-
Add the ube extract (or vanilla extract if using), and stir until combined. If desired, add a few drops of purple food coloring to give the jelly a vibrant purple color.
-
Pour the mixture into a mold or shallow container and allow it to cool to room temperature, then place it in the fridge to set for about 2-3 hours or until firm.
2. Make the Dessert Drink:
-
Once the ube jelly is fully set, cut it into small cubes or bite-sized pieces.
-
In a glass, layer the ube jelly cubes with cold milk (dairy or plant-based, depending on your preference).
-
Add a little bit of sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter drink.
3. Serve:
-
Stir gently to combine the jelly with the milk, creating a fun and colorful dessert drink.
-
Add ice cubes if you want a chilled, refreshing treat.
