Strawberry Pudding

In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup hot water, sugar and the jelly crystals till it dissolves. Transfer to a greased mould and freeze for just 15-20 minutes as I want it to blend slightly with the strawberry pudding.

Meanwhile, blend the chopped strawberries into a puree. Then add in sugar and blend again. Transfer into a bowl and add the milk and vanilla essence.

Mix everything well and keep aside. Mix the gelatin in the remaining water and heat it on a medium flame till it dissolves. Keep aside to cool down.

Mix the gelatin to the strawberry mix and pour this over the jelly that was sitting in the freezer. Chill for 4-5 hours or till it is set.

While serving, run a knife along the edges of the mould and gently flip it over a serving dish. Garnish with sliced strawberry and a sprig of mint and serve.
