Nutritional values

This eye-catching dessert is by no means reflected on the hips, as it has hardly any fat and only 123 calories per serving. By the way: A dessert also helps you to achieve your daily requirement of vitamins and minerals. Here you can get one tenth each of vitamin E and calcium.

If you generally avoid gelatine because it is an animal product, then use the algae-based alternative, agar-agar, which is also neutral in taste. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions to find the right amount for solidifying the milk mixture.
