Red White and Blue Gelatina Squares
Ready for the three-day weekend? We are! Time for outdoor grilling, egg salads, no-bake desserts and cold gelatinas. It’s been quite a while since I’ve made a gelatina. This one had to be extra special. These gelatin squares, also known as finger Jello, are very fun to make for kids because they can be enjoyed without a spoon. They are firm enough to be picked up by little hands and colorful enough to be the centerpiece of your Independence Day picnic.
One of my favorite gelatina flavors is the white, creamy flavor sweetened with sweetened condensed milk. I had to incorporate that layer with Parmalat Nata Crema para Desayuno into this layer. It worked beautifully. The layer usually firmed up bright white and made my gelatina squares beautiful following the Fourth of July theme. The sprinkles are a bonus. They made this fun dessert look like little firework squares. The kids will love it.
Nata is the layer of cream that rises to the top when boiling milk. Parmalat Nata Crema para Desayuno has a neutral flavor. It’s great for spreading on toast or bagels, a great base for a dip and now I can use it for my desserts like this gelatina.
