Provided by Anita Lo

Categories     beverage

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups Water
2 tablespoons powdered gelatin
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 pineapple
1 mango, Substitute: peach
1 cup pitted lychees in syrup
1 cup fresh or canned mandarin orange segments
1/4 jicama, substitute with fresh water chestnuts
kosher salt, optional

Steps:

  • Place the milk, sugar, and 2 cups (460ml) water in a medium pot over high heat. Scald the milk, or bring it to just below the boiling point. In a small bowl, mix the powdered gelatin in 3 tablespoons of cold water with your fingers until completely dissolved.
  • While the milk is heating, peel and dice the pineapple.
  • Once the milk is almost boiling and giving off small amounts of steam, remove from the heat, add the softened gelatin and stir to dissolve. Add the almond extract and stir. Pour into a large baking dish (preferably 9-inch by 13-inch) lined with lightly oiled plastic wrap and chill - the liquid should come about 1 inch (2.5 cm) up the sides of the dish. The almond jello can be made 1 day in advance, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated.
  • While the jello is setting, peel and dice the mango. Combine the mango, pineapple, lychee nuts with syrup and orange segments in a deep serving bowl.
  • For the jicama, peel off the thick outer skin and cut the white flesh into small (1/4 inch) cubes.
  • Add the jicama to the other fruits. Stir gently to combine. When the almond jello is firm, cut into diamond shapes and add to the fruit cocktail. Seasoning the dessert with a pinch of salt is optional. Serve immediately.

ALMOND FLOAT ASIAN DESSERT



Almond Float Asian Dessert image

I first received this recipe when I took Chinese Cooking classes at night school back in 1978. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my notes -- so I found this on the Web in response to a request for an oriental-themed dessert. It is very very close to my misplaced recipe. Prep time includes LOTS of chilling time.

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Dessert

Time P1DT10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups water
3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
4 teaspoons almond extract
1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail
1 (20 ounce) can lychees
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges
16 maraschino cherries, cut into halves (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring water to a boil; add gelatin and sugar and cook until dissolved.
  • Remove from heat; stir in milk and almond extract.
  • Pour into a 13x9 glass pan and refrigerate until firm (about 2 hours).
  • In the recipe I found on the Web, it says to use the cans of fruit undrained; however, this is not what I remember from my recipe and I would recommend draining them.
  • In a large serving bowl, gently stir together the fruit cocktail, lychees and mandarin oranges.
  • Cut gelatin into cubes, preferably diamond-shaped.
  • Gently combine with fruit.
  • Garnish with cherries, if desired.
  • Chill well before serving.

  • Simple Matcha Green Tea Mochi. Match AND mochi? Sign me up! The texture of mochi is just so perfectly unique, and the earthy match is such a great pairing.
  • Black Sesame Cookies. The first time I used black sesame seeds on a brioche, I was hooked. The pop of dark color along with the light, nutty flavor was just what I’d been missing.
  • Mango Sticky Rice. Confession: when I was in Hong Kong, I more or less lived off this stuff. I had it at least once per day and found myself looking for it everywhere we went.
  • Castella Cake. This sponge cake is made with whipped egg white and honey. When mixing the batter, be sure to get all the lumps of flour, but don’t over-mix to the point you see air bubbles.
  • Japanese Butter Cookies. Needing just five ingredients, these Japanese beauties will melt in your mouth and leave you reaching for more. Typically seen in the shape of a dove, you can make these any shape you prefer.
  • Korean Sweet Rice Cake. This unusual little snack is definitely one to try when you have a free afternoon. It takes some getting used to, and you’ll need to read the instructions a few times before you start.
  • Easy Kulfi Recipe with Condensed Milk. Being a huge ice cream fan, I had to try this one. This frozen dessert is so pleasantly spiced – with cardamom and saffron – and the pistachios are a dream!
  • Modak Recipe. This is such a fun recipe to try at home, just so long as you don’t mind getting your hands a little sticky! If you can’t find jaggery powder, you can substitute for brown sugar or coconut sugar.
  • Korean Tea Cookies. To get these adorable cookies into their shape, you’ll need a traditional to use a dasik mold. As great as they look, you can’t find them in the States.
  • Chinese Mango Pudding. In case I haven’t mentioned: I LOVE mango! So this recipe had me racing to the kitchen. All you’ll need is fresh mango, gelatine, sugar, milk, and cream.

  • Castella Cake. Catella cake originates from Japan. It is a mix of whipped egg whites and the sweet taste of honey. The cake isn’t particularly moist. Some would actually say it was dry, but what we do know is that it goes fantastically with a coffee.
  • Korean Sweet Rice Cake. It stands to reason that rice will feature heavily in Asian dessert recipes. After all, they are the biggest consumers of rice in the world.
  • Kulfi. Kulfi is an Asian dessert that is consumed throughout India and up into Central Asia. A kulfi is an ice cream made from condensed milk before being garnished with Asian spices, such as cardamom and saffron.
  • Korean Tea Cookies. We are always a fan of no-bake dessert recipes. When they look and taste as good as this, then it is easy to see why. The bulk of the recipe is made almost entirely from sesame seeds, so make sure that you buy a big bag.
  • Fried Rice Dumplings. If you’ve done your research, you’ll see that red beans feature heavily in lots of Asian desserts, don’t be put off! They aren’t considered savory and are mashed into a paste.
  • Banana Fritters. Fried bananas are mouthfuls of heaven. We don’t know what it is, but when bananas are cooked, they take on a really sweet banana flavor.
  • Chinese Nougat. Don’t think that all Asian desserts are complicated or require exotic ingredients. Here’s a great example of a dessert that is really easy to make.
  • Chinese Almond Cookies. Here’s another Asian dessert recipe that you can make without any ‘Asian’ ingredients at all. These cookies aren’t quite as sweet as traditional ‘western’ cookies.
  • Chinese Five Spice Peanuts. Did you know that peanuts are not actually nuts at all? They are, in fact, a pulse, which is a classy name for a bean! This is about as simple as it gets.
  • Chinese Puff Pastry Egg Tart. These Chinese puff pastry egg tarts are very similar to the Portuguese pasties de nata. This is interesting as the Portuguese sailors used to trade frequently with China during the 1700s.

ALMOND FLOAT | KTC HAWAIIAN - KAPO TRADING COMPANY
2017-11-25 One of our favorite summer desserts is the Almond Float.Many used to eat it with canned fruit cocktail, although we are not sure why. Perhaps when this dessert was first made by Chinese families that immigrated to the U.S., fresh fruit was not readily available so the syrup that canned fruit comes with also might have served as an easy way to sweeten this light dessert.
