Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 250 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.67 Cup white sugar
• 1.5 Cups whole milk
• 2 0.25 Ounces (oz) packages unflavored gelatin, packaged
• 2 Cups boiling water
• 2 Teaspoons almond extract
• 1 11 Ounces (oz) can mandarin orange segments, undrained
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Cups heavy cream, whisked

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and milk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Sprinkle the gelatin over the mixture and let it stand for 1 minute to soften.
2. Add the boiling water and almond extract to the gelatin mixture, whisking continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
3. Pour the mixture into a 7-inch square pan. Allow it to cool slightly before refrigerating. Chill for about 4 hours or until the gelatin is firm.
4. Once set, cut the gelatin into 1-inch squares. Gently fold in the whipped cream to add a luxurious texture.
5. In a serving bowl, combine the gelatin squares with the mandarin oranges and their juice. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the gelatin squares remain intact.
6. Serve chilled, garnished with a few extra mandarin segments or a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
