Name: Easy Homemade Almond Jello
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1 2/3 cup boiling water; 2 envelopes (.25 oz each) plain gelatin (I use Knox); 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 4 tsp pure almond extract; 1/2 cup cold whole milk; Optional: Lycheese, mandarin oranges, mangoes, or your favorite tropical fruits

Forget the store-bought packets of almond jello powder. Make your own homemade almond jello, with just 4 pure ingredients! It's too easy to pass up. This homemade version is sweet, almond infused, and firm enough a finger jello. If you like your jello a bit softer, add a bit more milk.

whole milk

Lycheese, mandarin oranges, mangoes,

Pour boiling water into a bowl and whisk in the gelatin to fully dissolve. Add sugar and gently hand-whisk to dissolve. Add almond extract and whisk. Add milk and whisk.

Pour into an 8&#215;8 or similar sized dish. Chill 2-3 hours or longer.

When completely set, cut into squares and serve with your favorite fruit. We love lychees, ripe mangoes, or mandarin oranges.

I’ve made this so many times using your recipe as is and it’s perfect every time.  I wanted to make Filipino Buko fruit salad and didn’t have Nata de coco (coconut jelly) and didn’t feel like going to the store.  I remembered this recipe do I substituted almond extract for coconut extract and made a coconut jello which worked.  Thank you

Sooo I knew I would like this recipe as is (it's exactly what my mom made me as a kid), but I wanted to tweak it because my skin breaks out with dairy! I halved the sugar, and it was actually still a bit too sweet for me. And, like other readers wanted to know how it would do with almond milk. NEGATIVE ghost rider, on the almond milk. It separates! It still tastes great, but you only get the 'creaminess' in the sections where the almond milk decided to gel up. I'm going to try canned coconut milk next time to see how we do;) So sad I can't do dairy - it would taste so amazing with whole milk!

Fantastic recipe! Love how easy it is to make and how I can multiply the portions. Been making this for years and the kids devour it.  Thanks for keeping this awesome dessert tradition alive for us.

I have a dairy allergy so I tried Ripple Pea milk rather than dairy milk to great success. I also have sugar issues so I subbed agave (1/3c) for the sugar. It was delightful. I have found Ripple pea milk can sub dairy in a lot of recipes where almond milk doesn't work.
