It is difficult to imagine national Russian cuisine without jelly. This drink was drunk by our ancestors, we also drink it willingly, especially since it takes no more than ten minutes to prepare a delicious and nutritious mixture.

The main character of the jelly is potato or corn starch: it is he who gives the drink its characteristic thickness. But its base can be very different: fruit, berry, milk, oatmeal and even vegetables (for example, pumpkin and carrots), which are brewed with starch during cooking. One of the fastest and most nutritious options is to make milk-based jelly: no preliminary preparation is needed.

If you use a minimum of starch, you get a thick drink. And if you add more of it, you get a separate jelly-like dish that you can eat with a spoon. The choice is yours.

Cooking time: 10 minutes / Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

• milk 1 l,
• potato starch 4-5 tsp,
• granulated sugar 2 tbsp. l.,
• raspberry jam 150 ml,
• chocolate 4 pieces,
• vanilla on the tip of a knife,
• mint for decoration.

Preparation

We take a ladle or pan made of stainless material. So that the milk does not burn to the bottom during boiling, rinse the dishes with cold water before pouring it in. We put the milk on the fire to boil. At this time, you should not go far so that it does not run away. Remove the boiled milk from the stove.



Pour potato starch into a glass.



Pour 100 ml of boiled milk into a container with starch in a small stream and stir quickly so that no lumps form.



Add granulated sugar to a ladle with liquid and return to the stove. Turn on low heat and stir milk until sugar dissolves. Add vanilla on the tip of a knife if desired.



We make a funnel in milk with a spoon and pour in the starch in a slow stream. Bring the milk with starch to a boil, stirring constantly with a spoon, but do not boil. As soon as the milk mixture begins to thicken, immediately remove the container from the heat. If you boil it, then the jelly can turn out to be liquid and there will be lumps in it. We put a little milk mixture into a spoon and pour it into a separate container - this way we will determine whether the jelly is thick enough. To make it even thicker, add a little potato starch and return to the stove, bring the jelly to a boil. And vice versa, if, in your opinion, the drink turned out to be too thick, next time we add less starch.



Depending on how thick the jelly turned out to be, we choose a shape for it. Pour the drink of medium density into cups, very thick - into molds or plates. Then let it cool at room temperature and place it in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes.



Pour the cooled jelly with raspberry jam (or any other to your taste), sprinkle with grated chocolate on top and decorate with mint leaves.

How to cook milk jelly: recipes, advice, recommendations. Milk jelly in baby and diet food.

Milk jelly: recipe for a liter of milk

The consistency of the finished milk jelly will depend on the amount of starch introduced. When heated to 68-80 degrees, starch molecules swell, come out of the granules, intertwine with one another and fill the entire volume.

But with further heating, the granules of the molecules are destroyed, the chains of molecules break, and the jelly liquefies again. Therefore, when preparing medium and liquid milk jelly, they are removed from the heat almost immediately after the introduction of starch.

The molecules of potato starch are larger than those of corn, so the thickening properties of the former are more pronounced. But cornstarch gives a more delicate texture, resulting in a pasty opaque dessert.

Today, on the Internet, you can find several dozen methods for creating original desserts based on starch and milk. Moreover, ready-made meals are distinguished not only by an exquisite and delicate taste, they are also a source of obvious benefits for adults and children.

The benefits and harms of milk dessert

Milk jelly is one of the few options for homemade delicacies that not only do not harm health, but also strengthen it due to its chemical composition. Despite the presence of starch in the product, which gives the mixture a significant calorie content, even nutritionists point out the benefits of the drink:

• The mass has a beneficial effect on the condition of the stomach of people suffering from acidity, gastritis, stomach ulcers and 12 duodenal ulcers.

• Even pure milk contains many vitamins and mineral components, and in combination with auxiliary products, these indicators increase even more.
• The work of the intestines improves, the prevention of dysbiosis is carried out.
• Metabolic processes are activated, the general tone rises, and immunity is strengthened.

It is noteworthy that a drink based on milk and starch has no negative characteristics. The only contraindication to drinking the drink may be an individual intolerance to the components that make up its composition.

Classic jelly recipes

To prepare a traditional drink, you need to use a minimum amount of additional components. Ideally, only milk, starch, sugar, and vanillin are recommended. You can only change the proportions of the components, adjusting the consistency of the product:

• Liquid milk jelly. For 1 liter of milk we take 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of potato starch (or 4 tablespoons of corn analog) and a pinch of vanillin. Dilute starch in a glass of cold milk. Bring the rest of the liquid to a boil and add sugar to it. After the crystals dissolve, add the starch composition and vanillin. We keep the mass on low heat, stirring constantly. When using potato starch, the holding time is 2 minutes, corn starch - 5 minutes. Serve the finished drink still warm in its pure form, with honey or jam.

• Thick milk jelly. For 1 liter of milk we take 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons of potato (or 8 tablespoons of corn) starch, a pinch of vanillin. The manipulation is carried out according to the same rules as in the previous recipe. Contrary to popular belief, there is no need to increase the digestion time of the ingredients to get a thicker dessert. Simply increasing the amount of thickener will suffice.

If you want to complicate a simple recipe a little, then add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed carrot juice to the still cold milk, which will mix with starch. This will not affect the taste of the product, but it will color it in a pleasant creamy color.

Unusual cooking options for treats

Fans of more unusual drinks should try to cook jelly according to one of the following recipes:

• Milk chocolate product. For 1 liter of milk, we take 4 tablespoons of sugar and cocoa powder, a 100 g chocolate bar, 2 tablespoons of potato starch (corn starch is 2 times more), a pinch of vanillin. Stir the starch in a glass of cold milk. Dilute cocoa in half a glass of cold milk. Break half of the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a water bath or in the microwave (in half a glass of milk). Heat the remaining milk with sugar and bring to a boil, pour in the starch mixture, chocolate-milk mixture, milk with cocoa. Stir and cook over low heat for 2 minutes for the potato thickener and 5 for the corn thickener. Pour the finished drink and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

The composition and benefits of milk jelly
Kissel is a traditional dish for the Slavic peoples. It has long been prepared from cereals and fruits, and initially jelly was not sweet dishes, and only over time turned into delicacies when they began to cook with the addition of berries, fruits, jam and milk. Now this dessert can be considered one of the few that does not harm, but strengthens health. Milk jelly is prepared with the addition of starch, so they are high in calories. Nevertheless, they are useful for both children and adults, especially during periods of intense physical and mental stress, stress, recovery from illness and simply, if you wish, to pamper yourself with something tasty and at the same time of high quality. In all these cases, milk jelly is ideal because it has the following properties:

• Mild alkalizing action, especially beneficial for people suffering from high acidity, gastritis, stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
  
• High content of vitamins and minerals, which correlates with specific cereal and / or fruit jelly ingredients.
  
• Activation of intestinal motility and prevention of dysbiosis.
  
• Increase of immune properties, activation of metabolic processes and general tone of the body.
  

At the same time, jelly, cooked from natural products, has practically no contraindications, with the exception of rare cases of intolerance to one or another component. But in this case, you can find a way out, because there are a huge number of recipes for jelly, sweet and fresh, thick and liquid, fruit and cereals, dairy, oat and combined. Each of them will bring general benefits and their own individual properties. But really tasty jelly will turn out only if you know the features of its preparation.

Milk jelly recipes
Do not even think about dry instant jelly and other semi-finished products. There is about the same in common between them and real, healthy milk jelly. Like fresh cherries and cherry-flavored candies. Despite your busy schedule and dynamic pace of life, find an opportunity to cook delicious jelly from natural ingredients. Moreover, it will take very little time, and for our part, we will suggest some successful recipes:

1. Liquid milk jelly. Take 1 liter of milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of potato or 4 tablespoons of cornstarch, a drop of vanilla extract or vanillin on the tip of a knife. Dissolve the starch in one glass of milk and bring the rest of the milk to a boil. Add sugar to boiling milk, stir it until it is completely dissolved. Then pour milk with starch, vanilla into a bowl with sweet milk and stir. Continuously stirring, cook the jelly over low heat for 2 minutes if using potato starch, or 5 minutes if using cornstarch. The reason for this difference is that potato starch is a stronger thickener than corn starch. Pour the finished jelly into cups and serve warm with honey, jam or any other sweet sauce. Milk jelly turns out to be pale white in color, but if desired, it can be colored in a pleasant creamy shade by adding a tablespoon of freshly squeezed carrot juice to cold milk before mixing it with starch.
   
2. Thick milk jelly. Take 1 liter of milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of potato or 8 tablespoons of cornstarch, a pinch of natural vanilla or vanilla on the tip of a knife (you can substitute half a packet of vanilla sugar). Dissolve the starch in one glass of milk so that there are no lumps. Bring the rest of the milk to a boil in a ladle. Put sugar in boiling milk, stir thoroughly until completely dissolved. Pour milk with starch into a bowl with boiling milk, put vanilla and stir. Continuously stirring, cook the jelly over low heat for 2 minutes if using potato starch, or 5 minutes if using cornstarch. Thus, the consistency of the jelly depends more on the amount of starch, and not on the time of its boiling. On culinary sites and in the literature, you can find a recommendation to add flour to jelly. But starch does an excellent job of creating a viscous consistency without it. Put the finished jelly in low cups or bowls and serve a little cooled, decorate with nuts, berries, honey and / or grated chocolate to your liking.
   
3. Milk berry jelly. Take 1 liter of milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of ready-made cherry syrup (you can buy it in a bottle or strain it from a jar of jam), 2 tablespoons of potato or 4 tablespoons of cornstarch, a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg. Dissolve the starch completely in one glass of milk, add flavor. Bring the rest of the milk to a boil along with the sugar. Then combine all the milk in a saucepan, mix thoroughly and, without stopping stirring, cook the jelly over low heat for 2 minutes if you used potato starch, or 5 minutes if you used cornstarch. Add the syrup a minute before cooking and distribute evenly in the jelly mass. Serve berry jelly with milk in portioned mugs, garnish with fresh mint and / or whole berries. These can be the same fruits from which the syrup is made, or others. Choose the syrups themselves at your discretion.
   
4. Milk chocolate jelly. Take 1 liter of milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 100 grams of chocolate (1 bar), 2 tablespoons of potato or 4 tablespoons of cornstarch, a pinch of natural vanilla (can be replaced with half a packet of vanilla sugar or vanilla on the tip of a knife ). Dissolve the starch in 1 glass of milk and stir until the lumps disappear completely. Dissolve the cocoa powder in half a glass of milk. Break half of the chocolate, put in half a glass of milk and melt in the microwave or water bath. Pour the rest of the milk into a ladle, put sugar in it and bring to a boil. Then add milk with starch, milk with chocolate and milk with cocoa to it, put the vanilla, stir evenly and, stirring continuously, simmer for 2 minutes if you used potato starch, or 5 minutes if you used cornstarch ... Pour the finished jelly into cups and decorate with the remaining chocolate, turning it into shavings with a grater.
   
5. Milk and egg jelly. Take 1 liter of milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 3 eggs or 3 yolks, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of butter. Separate the yolks from the whites and grind them with sugar and flour until white and smooth. Pour milk into a ladle and put on low heat. Immediately add the yolk mixture to the milk and start stirring slowly. Boil the jelly until thickened, gradually heating, but not allowing the boiling process to begin. After about 3-5 minutes, when the jelly acquires the desired consistency, put warm butter in it, mix thoroughly and remove from heat. Transfer the jelly to the bowls and serve hot. This recipe allows the use of any flavors of your choice (vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon, etc.). As a thickener, starch is replaced with eggs, which changes the nutritional value of the jelly in favor of proteins and fats, reducing the amount of carbohydrates.
   

The simplicity of preparing milk jelly is not deceiving: it is really very simple to cook it. If you wish, you can complicate the recipe, add flavorings, flavors, decorations, etc. to it. In addition, inventive housewives like to experiment with the consistency of jelly, turning it into a fragrant drink, or into a thick dessert. By the way, the Italian pannacota milk jelly has recently been very popular with gourmets. Although thick milk jelly, decorated with berries, chocolate chips and waffle crumbs, is in no way inferior to him either in taste or in aesthetics. Therefore, do not look for prophets in a foreign homeland - cook milk jelly for yourself and your loved ones with pleasure and invention. Bon Appetit!
