This dessert reminds me of my aunt Zosia 🙂 She always made a creamy jello cake called “ptasie mleczko”, which translates to bird’s milk. It was always smooth, sweet and fluffy like a cloud.
So, this Labor Day I decided to make a red, white and blue version and serve it in cups topped with whipped cream, raspberries and blueberries! Turned out to be the perfect dessert for a hot, sunny day 🙂
