Directions
- 1
Prepare strawberry gelatin according to package directions. Set aside to cool to lukewarm without setting.
- 2
In a saucepan over low heat, combine condensed milk, heavy cream, and 1 cup of the milk. Stir constantly and do not let it boil.
- 3
Whisk cornstarch into the remaining ½ cup milk until smooth, then slowly pour into the warm cream mixture while stirring continuously.
- 4
Keep stirring over low heat until the cream thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- 5
Spread the cooled cream evenly in a glass dish, then arrange strawberry halves cut-side up across the entire surface.
- 6
Spoon the lukewarm gelatin gently over the strawberries to avoid displacing them, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until fully set.
💡 Chef's Tip
Make this dessert the night before for best results — the layers firm up beautifully overnight. You can swap strawberries for raspberries or mixed berries for a delicious twist.
