I have had this as child growing up in Asia and it is definitely yummy. We usually mix the almond jell-o with canned lychees instead of fruit cocktail or mandarin oranges.

I use to have this as part of a mixture of other things like grass Jelly(canned), jack fruit and avocado and leechees, and by lack of other things I also added fruit cocktail and coconut. Then I put shredded ice on top of it then some Kerns fruit punch concentrate ( in a bottle), Or some Hawaien punch concentrate, also in a bottle, then I put some sweet condensed milk over it. I served in a bowl with a spoon and a straw. I called it " YS SHANGHAI "

the jello is usually in the shape of fish when my grandmother makes it!!! (using a fish-like shaping dish with layered colors)!!! Totally a delight ;)

The jello sounds very interesting but what are canned lychees?

For Summer time, add sweetened water, mint and ice to the almond jello cubes and it is very refreshing. Better yet, cut the almond jello into very tiny pieces and drink it with a large straw. (like boba tea)

Try adding a teaspoon of brandy to the jello and a favorite during summer time is grapes soaked in Ouzo (greek liquor) and then sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
