Method

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the gelatin and boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

  2. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it chill until it thickens to the consistency of egg whites. This typically takes about 1 hour.

  3. Once the gelatin has thickened, take a chilled bowl and chilled beaters. Pour the evaporated milk into the bowl.

  4. Use the chilled beaters to whip the evaporated milk until it becomes thick enough to form peaks, similar to whipped cream.

  5. Carefully fold the whipped milk into the gelatin mixture.

  6. Take an 8 cup mold and rinse it thoroughly. Pour the gelatin mixture into the mold.

  7. Cover the mold and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours until it is fully set.

  8. When ready to serve, carefully remove the gelatin from the mold and transfer it onto a serving dish.

  9. Sprinkle cookie crumbs on top of the gelatin.

  10. Place the remaining cookie crumbs in a separate bowl and pass it around the table during serving time.
