DECORATION:

INGREDIENT NOTES:

REDUCED-FAT CREAM CHEESE:

  • Cream cheese provides a rich, creamy texture to the white gelatin layer. It makes a smooth and luxurious dessert without making the float heavy. You may use reduced-fat Greek cream as an alternative.

EVAPORATED MILK:

  • We use this to give creaminess and make a silky texture. It blends easily with the cream cheese. You may use low-fat evaporated milk as another option.

WATER:

  • Water helps to dissolve the gelatin. It forms the base of the strawberry gelatin layer. You may use an unsweetened strawberry-flavored drink for extra taste.

SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY GELATIN:

  • It includes a color and signature floating look to the recipe. Using this will lower the calories and sugar content. Use raspberry, cherry, or mixed berry as per your preference.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, mix four tbsp. of unflavored gelatin with one cup of water for five minutes, then microwave for 40 seconds.
  2. Blend cream cheese, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract into the blender for two minutes to make a smooth mixture.
  3. Pour the dissolved gelatin into the blender gradually while blending on low speed for 20 seconds.
  4. Then cover the mold with a little amount of butter and include the white mixture in it.
  5. Refrigerate the mixture for 3 hours so the white layer gets firm.
  6. You will dissolve strawberry gelatin in four cups of hot water using a large bowl & stir continuously for 3 minutes.
  7. Now mix two cups of cold water and cool the gelatin mixture till it gets warm, not hot.
  8. Loosen the edges of white gelatin using a thin knife and gradually pour the small amount of warm strawberry gelatin around the edges.
  9. When the white gelatin starts floating above the strawberry layer, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  10. Add all the gelatin gradually and refrigerate for an additional four hours.
  11. Run a thin knife around the edges and invert the mold carefully after placing the serving plate over the mold.
  12. Lastly, gently lift the mold away and arrange fresh strawberry slices around the float.
