Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Directions

  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Remove from heat.
  3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg-sugar mixture while continuously whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling.
  4. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  5. Place the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until fully dissolved.
  6. Add the dissolved gelatin and vanilla extract to the egg-milk mixture and whisk until well incorporated.
  7. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any lumps.
  8. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
  9. Pour the thickened mixture into individual serving glasses or a large glass dish.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the jelly is set and firm.
  11. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.
