The Kidlet and I made this ages ago. I would've sworn that I'd done a write-up for it, but I can't find it anywhere!

This is an incredibly simple dessert, but very tasty. I was skeptical of combining milk with Jell-O, but it actually worked really well and made for a delicious treat. I've since seen people doing something similar with sugar-free Jell-O and fat-free Greek yogurt to get a low-calorie diet-friendly dessert. I haven't tried to yogurt version yet, but after the success of the evaporated milk rendition, I'm definitely keen to give it a try!

Oh, and, now that I'm looking more closely at the recipe again, there's actually a "yoghurt flummery" variant listed after the main recipe. I'll add that below. They specify slightly different mixing instructions for the yogurt version, but I'd be curious to see what happens if you try to mix it up the same way as with the milk. Something to experiment with...
