Here’s a simple and delicious Strawberry Flan Jello recipe — creamy, fruity, and perfect as a chilled dessert:
🧾 Ingredients (6–8 servings)
For the jello layer:
- 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) strawberry-flavored gelatin (jello)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
For the flan (custard) layer:
- 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz / 360 ml) evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional garnish:
- Fresh strawberries
- Whipped cream
🥄 Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry jello layer:
- Dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Add 1 cup cold water, mix, and pour into a mold or serving dish.
- Chill in the refrigerator until firm (about 1–2 hours).
- Prepare the flan layer:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a blender or bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine layers:
- Once the jello layer is firm, gently pour the flan mixture over it.
- Place the mold in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (water bath) to prevent cracking.
- Bake the flan layer:
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 2 hours.
- Serve:
- To unmold, dip the bottom of the mold briefly in warm water, then invert onto a plate.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries or whipped cream if desired.
💡 Tips:
- Pour the flan layer slowly over the jello to avoid breaking the jello.
- You can substitute strawberry gelatin with any flavor you like.
- For extra creaminess, add a little cream cheese or whipped cream to the flan mixture.
If you want, I can also give a quick no-bake strawberry flan jello version that sets faster and doesn’t require the oven.
Do you want me to share that version?
