nice recipe - great alternative to regular jello flavors. Also works well w/coconut milk instead of milk & coconut extract instead of almond. Not at all too sweet if one uses evaporated (not SWEETENED CONDENSED) milk. Will try whole milk next to get an even lighter consistency to offset our current miserable heat wave.

Yikes! This recipe was WAY too sweet. I should have known when I saw it called for evaporated milk AND 1 cup of sugar! The end result was nothing like the almond jello of Chinese restaurants...It was so incredibly heavy and sweet that it was inedible. Also, the recipe should caution that adding gelatin improperly results in gelatin clumps. Will not make again.

I have just recently retired. I worked in the banking industry for 25 yrs. My husband and I own a cottage and have spent most of this last summer at the lake. We go there in the winter as well. I love to cook and I collect recipes.
