The blend of creamy milk and sweet, tangy blueberries creates a jelly that’s not only eye-catching but also delicious. Plus, it’s a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients You'll Need:

Here’s a list of the ingredients to gather before you begin:

For the Jelly Base:

1 cup fresh blueberries (you can also use frozen if out of season)

2 cups milk (whole milk for a creamier texture, but any milk works)

1/4 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

2 teaspoons gelatin powder

1/4 cup water (for blooming the gelatin)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

For the Blueberry Sauce (optional, for topping):

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin

In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. This will help the gelatin dissolve properly in the milk mixture later.

Step 2: Make the Blueberry Puree

Place the blueberries in a saucepan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until the blueberries break down and form a sauce (about 5 minutes).

Once softened, blend the blueberries until smooth and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and skins. Set the puree aside.

Step 3: Heat the Milk Mixture

In another saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the milk is warm, but don’t let it boil.

Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar. If you’re using vanilla extract, now’s the time to add it!

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients

Once the milk mixture is warm, remove it from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Pour in the blueberry puree and mix well until you have a beautiful, pastel purple mixture.

Step 5: Set the Jelly

Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or a large mold if you prefer.

Place the glasses or mold in the fridge and let them chill for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.

The creamy texture combined with the fruity taste makes it a refreshing dessert that’s not too heavy. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, you can whip up this dessert in no time. So the next time you’re craving something sweet and light, give this Blueberry Milk Jelly a try!
