Milo is a drink available in almost all Singaporean hawker centres. Milo Dinosaur is a mug of iced milo mixed with condensed milk and topped with a generous scoop of powdered milo. Milo Godzilla is a drink of milo Dinosaur with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
My younger one was asking for jelly for more than a week. That too, he started to like chocolate flavoured brownies, cakes recently. So I planned to make a milo jelly using Agar-Agar. I don’t use gelatin as they are made of animal bones. Also, Agar-Agar is very common in Singapore. Hence, it was very ideal for me to use in my recipe. This jelly recipe needs less work yet results in great taste.
I am using cocoa powder in this recipe.
