Cardamon Vanilla milk jelly
About cardamon vanilla milk jelly
Cardamon vanilla milk jelly is a very simple jelly, but the slightly exotic flavor is addictive. Originally, I was planning to make kulfi (traditional Indian ice cream), but the freezer was full and I didn’t have room for it, so I changed it to jelly. It turned out to be unexpectedly delicious, and my family liked it, so I started making it regularly.
The cardamon and vanilla accents are a perfect match for the rich, milky jelly. I usually make the jelly itself simply without adding sugar, etc., and I often add variations with the sauce. However, this jelly itself is very delicious, so a little pistachio sprinkle is enough.
If you have some cardamon pods left at home, please make it once. Try to taste milk jelly in a different way.

Recipe tips
Depending on the amount of gelatin, it can be hard or soft jelly. Pour it into a glass and enjoy the soft jelly, or pour it into a mold to make a firmer jelly. Adjust to your liking.
I usually crush the cardamon a little and open the vanilla pods with a knife, scrape out the insides of vanilla pod and add them along with the pods to the milk mixture. This will bring out the cardamon and vanilla flavors well.
Using condensed milk for sweetness. If you can obtain, please use condensed coconut milk, but if you can’t, you can use regular condensed milk.
For the garnish, you can sprinkle chopped pistachios on top of the jelly, or red things such as pomegranate are also good.
