Ideal milk berry dessert

A versatile dessert, very typical of bazaar dessert stations when I was young. At the church bazaar, there would usually be the option of buying a bowl of dessert that would have about 3 scoops of different cold desserts (jelly, custard, ice-cream, but also a variety of fridge tarts or other cold desserts).

You can make this with any flavour combination of jelly and fruit; my mom used to do pineapple as a standard dessert. Double the jelly and fruit in the recipe on the same amount of ideal milk, add a biscuit crust and you get a fridge tart - Hanno's uncle Salomon and his girlfriend brought a guava version of this fridge tart to us in Johannesburg once, and I think that was the last time we saw Salomon, so lots of memories on this.

The version below is what Eidde and I made for an Oxlos end of year party - we made 3 or 4 times the recipe if memory serves with different berry tins.

1 tin of ideal / evaporated milk, very cold - leave in the fridge for a day

1 tin of berries 

1 packet of jelly of an appropriate flavour

Heat the juice from the berry tin and dissolve the jelly in that. Add the berries and allow to cool to room temperature.

Beat the evaporated milk until stiff (should form at least soft peaks in the bowl). Mix everything together and refrigerate until set.
