This is such an easy dessert to make. The star-fruit add a slightly sour taste to the sweet gelatin, it also adds visual appeal with it's star configuration.
If you have kids, making this dessert can be a fun family experience. This recipe can be a healthy alternative, if sugar substituted gelatin is used. I tend to serve this light recipe following a rich or filling main course.
You can customize this dessert by adding your own choice of chopped nuts; I refrain from doing so because many people have nut allergies. Omission of the nuts saves me from reading the riot act to my guests, or having them sign a disclaimer (smile).
Give this quick and tasty dessert a try. You'll be a big hit with the unique look and flavor this dessert provides!!
