What goes into our milk jelly recipe?

Strawberry-flavoured jelly crystals: we’ve chosen strawberry-flavoured jelly for our milk jelly, but you can really pick any flavour you like. A yellow mango flavour was also a hit with our team.
Evaporated milk: bringing the creamy milk flavour to this jelly, evaporated milk is a must for this recipe’s success. It also creates a beautiful pastel hue to the final milk jelly.
