Ingredients
  

  • 1 6-ounce box strawberry gelatin mix any strawberry-flavored gelatin dessert mix
  • 1 cup boiling water freshly boiled for dissolving the gelatin
  • ½ cup cold water to cool the gelatin mixture
  • 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk well chilled for at least 1 hour
  • Fresh strawberries washed and sliced, optional for serving
  • Whipped cream optional garnish

Method
 

  1. Place the unopened can of evaporated milk in the freezer for at least 1 hour so it becomes thoroughly chilled before whipping.
  2. Combine the strawberry gelatin powder with the boiling water in a large bowl and whisk until the crystals have completely dissolved.
  3. Stir in the cold water, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before using so it won't deflate the whipped milk.
  4. Pour the chilled evaporated milk into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it becomes light, fluffy, and reaches soft peaks.
  5. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly stream the cooled gelatin mixture into the whipped milk until smooth and evenly blended.
  6. Immediately transfer the mixture into a 9×13-inch glass dish or individual dessert cups, then refrigerate for about 2 hours or until completely firm.
  7. Serve the chilled milk gelatin with fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired.
