Almond Float Asian Dessert Recipe - Food.com image

I first received this recipe when I took Chinese Cooking classes at night school back in 1978. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my notes -- so I found this on the Web in response to a request for an oriental-themed dessert. It is very very close to my misplaced recipe. Prep time includes LOTS of chilling time.

Total Time 24 hours 10 minutes

Prep Time 24 hours

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups water
3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
4 teaspoons almond extract
1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail
1 (20 ounce) can lychees
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges
16 maraschino cherries, cut into halves (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring water to a boil; add gelatin and sugar and cook until dissolved.
  • Remove from heat; stir in milk and almond extract.
  • Pour into a 13x9 glass pan and refrigerate until firm (about 2 hours).
  • In the recipe I found on the Web, it says to use the cans of fruit undrained; however, this is not what I remember from my recipe and I would recommend draining them.
  • In a large serving bowl, gently stir together the fruit cocktail, lychees and mandarin oranges.
  • Cut gelatin into cubes, preferably diamond-shaped.
  • Gently combine with fruit.
  • Garnish with cherries, if desired.
  • Chill well before serving.

ALMOND FLOAT | KTC HAWAIIAN - KAPO TRADING COMPANY
Nov 24, 2017 · One of our favorite summer desserts is the Almond Float.Many used to eat it with canned fruit cocktail, although we are not sure why. Perhaps when this dessert was first made by Chinese families that immigrated to the U.S., fresh fruit was not readily available so the syrup that canned fruit comes with also might have served as an easy way to sweeten this light dessert.
