Tropical Island

This is an incredibly refreshing dessert with tropical fruits in yogurt and cream. It is also very easy to make, no cooking involved!

20 Servings.

Ingredients:

• Jelly 2 packets
• Sweetened condensed milk 1 can
• Cream 600 ml
• Greek yogurt 600 ml
• Lychee 2 cans 
• Pineapple chunks 1 can
• Crushed pineapple 1 can
• Mandarin orange 1 can
• Pomegranate 1   

Process

• Make the jelly (store bought jelly mix, Veg & Halal available), pick vibrant colour, preferably red, green or yellow) to go in the middle as an island,  follow the instruction on the packet, pour in the mould & let it set. for added kick I add some sugar and lemon juice to taste.

• Whip 600 ml (about 2.5 cups) cream (or whipping cream) to as thick as you can get.

• Lightly fold in equal amount of Greek yogurt or thick yogurt. (You can thicken any yogurt by leaving it to drain on a fine sieve in the fridge overnight) 

• Add 1 can sweetened condensed milk

• Add drained canned or fresh tropical fruits (mango, lychees, pineapple) > mix

• Place the jelly in the middle of the serving dish.

• Spoon the fruit mixture around it and put it in the fridge for few hours for the fruit mixture to set.

• Garnish with some fresh fruit on top, I used canned Mandarin oranges, Pomegranate (Dalim / Anar) seeds sprinkled over.

To serve: Plant some bamboo leaves (if you have) in the jelly before serving.
