Instructions

Step 1

Soak the Gelatin

Begin by soaking the gelatin in cold water. Allow it to swell and soften for a few minutes. This step is important to ensure that the gelatin dissolves properly in the mixture.

Step 2

Prepare the Sweetened Condensed Milk

Next, take sweetened condensed milk and warm it up slightly in the microwave for about 5 to 10 seconds. This will help in blending the ingredients smoothly.

Once warmed, stir in the soaked gelatin, mixing well until it is completely dissolved. Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth texture.

Step 3

Add Color

Now, it’s time to add your choice of food colorings to the mixture. Incorporate them one at a time, adjusting the colors to your liking. Use your creativity to create vibrant shades!

Step 4

Fill the Molds

Carefully pour the colorful mixture into your chosen molds. Make sure to fill them evenly. This dessert is visually appealing, so take your time to make it look nice!

Step 5

Final Tips

If you have leftover mixture, it can be reheated gently. Remember to avoid overheating for the best results. Your kids will be delighted with this easy and beautiful dessert!

Servings

Serving Suggestions: 🥳 When it's time to show off your Labyba, consider pairing it with a vibrant fruit platter. Fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and kiwis not only look stunning but add a fresh, juicy contrast to the sweetness of your treat. 🎉 Another fun way to serve your Labyba is in small, individual cups topped with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to elevate the experience. Make it a festive occasion by adding some sprinkles or nuts for that extra crunch. 🌈 Remember, the presentation makes all the difference, so don't hesitate to get creative with your display!
