2-5 hrs
ingredients
3 packages (3 ounce size) berry blue gelatin powder
2 cups boiling water
2 1/2 cups cold water
4 tablespoons fish-shaped gummy candies, divided
2 cups cold milk
1 package (3.4 ounce size) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 medium lime
2 cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
6 whole allspice
1 disposable cup (2 ounce size)
1 round wooden toothpick
fresh blueberries, optional
additional gummy candies, optional
directions
In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Pour into a 6-cup ring mold coated with nonstick cooking spray. Add 2 tablespoons gummy candies. Chill for 1 hour.
Stir in remaining candies. Chill for 1-2 hours or until set. In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding. Cover and chill until ready to use.
To make palm tree leaves, cut lime in half, then remove and discard pulp. Place lime halves, cut side down, on a cutting board. With a pencil, sketch five leaves from bottom to top on each half. Cut out leaves, leaving center intact. Make little cuts to create a palm leaf appearance.
To create a base for the trees, turn disposable cup upside down; cut two small skis in the bottom. Insert a cinnamon stick in each slit for tree trunks. Break toothpick in half. Insert pointed ends into center of lime halves; insert broken ends into cinnamon sticks.
Unmold gelatin onto a 12-inch serving platter. Place cup in the center of gelatin ring. Spoon vanilla pudding over cup, filling center of ring.
Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for sand. Place allspice at base of trees for coconuts (discard allspice before serving). Garnish with blueberries and additional gummy fish if desired.

nutrition data
Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
