At Kiwilimón, we are lovers of tamales of all flavors; however, this time we let our imagination run wild to create these gelatin tamales.

We know they are not the same as tamales made with corn dough, but these gelatin tamales have a delicious flavor, are easy to make, and you don’t need a steamer to prepare them at home.

Combine the water, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and oats in a pot. Heat over medium heat for 10 minutes. Blend until combined and pour the mixture into a bowl. When the mixture is still warm, dissolve the strawberry gelatin with a whisk. Spread two tablespoons of the mixture on a corn husk, add some raisins, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve the gelatin tamales and pair with a pot coffee.
