Ingredients

Colored Gelatins:

• 4 boxes of gelatin in different flavors (e.g., strawberry, lemon, grape, and pineapple)
• 1 liter of boiling water (250ml per box)
• 1 liter of cold water (250ml per box)

Unflavored Gelatin:

• 2 packets of unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup of cold water
• 1 can of condensed milk
• 1 can of heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the colored gelatins: Dissolve each colored gelatin in 250ml of boiling water. Add 250ml of cold water, mix, and pour into separate containers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
2. Prepare the unflavored gelatin: Hydrate the unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of cold water and dissolve it in a double boiler or microwave according to package instructions.
3. Mix the creamy ingredients: In a blender, combine the condensed milk and heavy cream. Add the dissolved unflavored gelatin and blend for a few more seconds.
4. Cut the colored gelatins: Remove the colored gelatins from the refrigerator and cut them into cubes.
5. Assemble the gelatin mosaic: In a large, lightly oiled mold, place the mixed colored gelatin cubes. Pour the creamy unflavored gelatin over the cubes.
6. Refrigerate: Chill for at least 2 hours or until completely firm.
7. Serve: To unmold, briefly dip the bottom of the mold in hot water. Invert onto a serving plate and serve the gelatin mosaic.

Tips and Variations

• For an even more special effect, use different molds to set the colored gelatins.
• Add chopped fruits along with the gelatin cubes for extra flavor.
• Substitute heavy cream with plain yogurt for a lighter version.
• Try using fruit juice instead of water to dissolve the unflavored gelatin for a more intense flavor.
• For a vegan gelatin mosaic, use agar-agar based vegetable gelatins and vegan condensed milk and cream.

CHEF’s Tips

The secret to a perfect gelatin mosaic lies in the consistency of the colored gelatins. Ensure they are well-set before cutting them into cubes, so they don’t fall apart when mixed with the unflavored gelatin. Using ice-cold water, instead of just cold water, when preparing the colored gelatins helps speed up the setting process and ensures a firmer texture. Also, lightly grease the mold with flavorless oil before adding the gelatin mosaic to make unmolding easier and ensure a flawless presentation. For an extra touch of flavor, try adding lemon or orange zest to the creamy unflavored gelatin. This gelatin mosaic dessert is an excellent option for those seeking practicality without compromising on flavor and visual appeal when serving!
