How to prepare Almond Jelly with Lychee
Quick & Easy Chinese dessert “Almond Jelly with Lychee” Recipe. This dessert is often served in many Chinese Restaurants in Asia. It is made of gelatin cooked in milk and flavoured with almond essence. The sweet almond jelly cubes serve with lychees in syrup and top with vanilla ice cream to make it even more special. This simple almond jelly and lychee dessert is now taking it step further by adding more fruits and combining traditional recipes with new ones and eventually became an Agar Salad.

Here’s a special treat for those who love Lychee and Jelly Desserts . . .
.
This is the original Chinese Almond Jelly dessert serves in lychee syrup, but since I wanted to make it extra special so I drain the lychee syrup and add my favorite vanilla ice cream and top with cherry. Looks pretty and tempting right?

And make sure this dessert is well chilled, before serving. This simple and easy agar fruit dessert can serve 6 person. If you want to prepare this dessert as quick as possible you can use an Agar Dessert Mix in Almond Flavour. It’s easy to find and I’m sure it’s available in your leading supermarkets.

Pouring hot milk over a cold milk & gelatin mixture is not an optimal way to activate the gelatin. Especially when the powdered gelatin was mixed with 3/4 cup of milk. That’s too much liquid just to bloom less than 2 Tbsp of gelatin (a packet of Knox is 2 1/2 tsp). And it would immediately cool the hot milk when you poured it in, leaving little to no time for the gelatin to activate.
I suggest blooming the gelatin in about 1/4 Cup of milk and heating it separately from from the rest of the milk-sugar-lychee juice mixture. Everything else can be done as you described in the recipe. Just add the gelatin slush as the last step.
arrrgghh im on a diet but by looking at those pics i cant help myself but to try to make this
