GELATINA DE ZANAHORIA, PIÑA Y NUEZ

CARROT, PINEAPPLE AND WALNUT GELATIN

Hoy les enseñare a hacer la gelatina de zanahoria, piña y nuez.
Cuando piensas en zanahoria, definitivamente no piensas en una gelatina, porque suena muy raro una gelatina de zanahoria, bueno al menos eso fue lo que yo pense cuando supe de esta gelatina... pero la probe y creanme: que delicia!!!
Es muy facil de hacer y aparte de deliciosa es super nutrivita ya que contiene muchas vitaminas, por ejemplo:



• Vitamina A de la zanahoria
• Vitamina C de la piña
• Vitamina A, E, B1, B6 de las nueces
• Calcio, vitamina A y vitamina D de la leche

Today I will show you guys how to make carrot, pineapple and walnut gelatin.

Yes, I know. When you think of carrots, gelatin is definately not the first (or last) thing that comes to your mind. carrots in a gelatin??? are you kidding me? Well, that was my first reaction when I came upon this jello, BUT I tried it out and boy was I surprised! all I can say now is you definately gotta try it!

Its such a delicious AND NUTRICIOUS dessert. Let me tell you the great vitamins you will get from this yummy dessert:

• Vitamine A from carrots
• Vitamine C from the pineapple
• Vitamins A, E, B1 and B6 from walnuts
• Calcium, vitamins A and D from milk.

ESTA ES LA DELICIOSA GELATINA. A CONTINUACION LA RECETA PARA HACER ESTE DELICIOSO Y NUTRITIVO POSTRE.

THIS IS THE GELATIN. DOESN'T IT LOOK GREAT? WELL.. LET ME TELL YOU, IT TASTES EVEN BETTER! SO, LETS GET STARTED:

INGREDIENTES:



- 2 latas de leche evaporada

- 1 lata de leche condensada
- 1 lata de media crema
- 1 taza de piña en almibar (sin el almibar)
- 1 taza de agua a temperatura ambiente
- 4 sobres de grenetina (7gr cada uno)
- media taza de nueces
- 2 zanahorias
- unas mitades de nueces para adornar.

Con estas cantidades te sale una gelatina enorme, o 2 gelatinas de tamaño normal, asi que como podran ver en la imagen, yo use la MITAD de las cantidades de estos ingredientes porque solo queria hacer una gelatina tamaño "normal"

INGREDIENTS:

- 2 cans of Evaporated milk
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can half & half cream (aprox. 225gr)
- 1 cup canned pineapple slices or chunks
- 1 cup of lukewarm water (room temperature)
- 4 envelopes of Unflavored gelatin (7 grams each envelope; 28 grams total)
- half cup of walnut pieces
- 2 medium sized carrots
- some walnut halves for decoration.

NOTE: With these quantities, you will have one big gelatin, or 2 medium sized gelatins. As you can see on the ingredients image, I used HALF the ingredients because I made one "normal" size gelatin.



Tambien ocuparemos un molde para gelatina.
You will also be needing a nice gelatin mold

PROCEDIMIENTO:                          PREPARATION METHOD:

1- Pelar y rallar las zanahorias (aqui es una zanahoria y media)
1- Peel and shred carrots. (like I said before, I used half of the ingredients so, in this image I have peeled and shredded one and a half carrots)

2- escurrir la piña y cortar en trozos pequeños

2- Drain your pineapple chunks (if you bought the sliced ones, drain them and cut them into small chunks)

3- picar las nueces. hechar estos 3 ingredientes en tu molde.

3- Place the shredded carrots, pineapple chunks and walnut pieces into your gelatine mold.

4- Revolverlos un poco
4- And mix these 3 ingredients.

5- Hidratar la grenetina: hechar los sobres de grenetina en el agua fria.
5. We need to hydrate our unflavored gelatin, so combine it in the lukewarm water and give it a small mix with a fork.

6- Deja la grenetina reposar unos 5 mins. (se hace espesita). ya despues la tenemos que hacer liquida.
6- Set aside for aproximately 5 minutes. (the gelatin granules will puff up a little and most of the water will be absorbed)

7- La hacemos liquida disolviendola:

a)  ya sea en baño maria (como puedes ver en la primera imagen), o mas facil:

b)- Yo la meti al microondas (hay que ser practicos) unos 5 segundos, revolvi y volvi a meter otros 5 segundos... y asi hasta que quede liquida...

Asi debe quedar:

7- Now you need to completely dilute those puffed up gelatin granules, there are 2 ways to do that:

a) - you can do it on the stove: heat up water in a small saucepan (up to halfway in depth) and bring it to a medium simmer. Place your bowl with the puffed up gelatin on top (make sure that the bowl is larger than the head of the saucepan for sure), making a double boiler or water bath, and let it heat up for about 5 minutes, stirring here and there, as you can see in the first image,

OR

b) Place your cup with the puffed up gelatin granules in the microwave for 5 seconds, stir, heat for another 5 seconds and stir again... do these 2 steps until the granules become liquid

as you can see on this 2nd image, thats the consistency we want (like water)

set aside.

8- y aparte vamos a licuar las leches: La evaporada
8- we will blend our 3 canned milks: the evaporated,

9- La condensada (les recuerdo que yo use la mitad de los ingredientes, asiq ue solo le heche MEDIA lata de esta)
9- The sweetened condensed milk (like I mentioned earlier, I used HALF the ingredientes, so I only used half of this can)

10- y la media crema. Licuamos estos 3 ingredientes.

10- And the Half and Half cream.

Blend these 3 ingredients.

11- Mientras se licuan esos 3 ingredientes, SIN APAGAR LA LICUADORA, agrega la grenetina (ya disuelta) por la parted de arriba.

11- While these are blending and WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE BLENDER, you will add the diluted unflavored gelatine from the top part or your blender and blend for a couple of seconds more. Its now ready

12- y vaciar encima de la piña/zanahoria/nueces.
12- Pour this blended milk/gelatine mixture over your carrots/pineapple/nut mixture.

13- Como podran ver, no se llenó todo el recipiente con la MITAD de los ingredientes. Si hago toda la cantidad de ingredientes, se llena este recipiente, y me sobra para otra pequeña gelatina.

13- As you can see, with HALF of the ingredients, I didn't fill up this jello mold. If I were to do ALL the ingredients mentioned in the ingredients list, I would fill this mold, and i could make another small gelatin.

14- tapar y refrigerar aprox 3 - 4 horas

14- Cover and refrigerate for aproximately 3 to 4 hours.

Decora con mitades de nuez y... VOILA! ASI QUEDA ESTE DELICIOSO Y NUTRITIVO POSTRE!

Decorate the top with walnut halves...and... VOILA! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET! ;)
