I remember my mum making "mousse" for us, there were 5 of us plus friends, so she would use two packets of jelly and 2 tins of Carnation. Happy days.

You know what? Add Lady Fingers too and you just made some posh dessert Gordon Ramsey would be jealous of 🙂 P.S., works just as well with jelly powder.

Make jelly to half pint with water then when cooled, top to pint with milk. When turned out you have the appearance of jelly on top of a blancmange.

Make it with evaporated milk, then when it is cool, but before it sets, whisk it up with an electric whisk.
My granny called this Fluffy Pudding!

My mum used to do this for us and called it Jelly Whip, add the Carnation/evaporated milk to just setting jelly and whisk until you get a frothy consistency. It becomes a lovely light mouse as Tina says. I have fond memories of this.

Wait till Jelly cools before adding Milk, I use Carnation. If you want a ‘Mousse’ whip Carnation and add to setting Jelly, delicious.

We had this in the '60s – it was known as "splodge" in our house!

Ooh and mix milk in slowly to needed amount, as it will curdle is cubes are hot, if you look at 2nd and 3rd big picture about you can see it has curdled slightly. If you get the temp right it does not happen to major degree

My Mum used to make this in a pan of water and melt the jelly cubes in a Pyrex measuring jug( in said pan). Then you have to stir till right temp to add milk (keep the cubes moving as they cool), else milk will curdle and then make up to required amount.

After microwaves she used to melt them in the jug in the microwave and stir till right temp to add milk. Bypassing pan of hot water

This just freaked me out, my Nana used to make this very same thing and when she pased away the recipe died with her!! I often tell my kids about this Milk Jello that she used to make and always wished I knew how she did it!! When I saw you post about your NAN, I assumed it was your Nana!! Thanks so much for having the same recipe to post!! 🙂

Try cream single or double but whip it you will find it is light and airy ‘ but only whip when the jelly and boiling water has just started to set.

My mum used to make milk jelly and that is where found out how to do it. After she had melted the jelly in boiling water she completely cooled the jelly in the fridge before adding the milk to avoid it curdling. Hope this helps.
