Birds Milk Recipe (Sour cream Jello)

This sour cream jello also referred to Birds Milk Recipe (Ptichye Moloko) consists of a creamy jello like base with a polished chocolate layer. 

Don’t be intimidated by the over whelming quantity of sour cream used, the sour cream taste isn’t too overpowering in one serving, as it’s diluted with a gelatin mixture and then covered with a silky chocolate layer balancing out the sour cream some-what.

You can certainly half or double the recipe upon your preference, but this batch makes a good amount of servings. The way you want to serve this jello is completely up to you as you can use various serving dishes, only do try to balance out the sour cream base and chocolate layer moderately so you won’t end up with too much of the base.

A big thanks to my aunt who shared the recipe with me.
