In a pot, heat the water with evaporated milk, condensed milk, and corn over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes. Let cool, blend, and divide the previous mixture into 3 equal parts, that is, into 3 containers. In one of the containers, dissolve the D' Gari® walnut flavor gelatin; in another, the D' Gari® pistachio flavor gelatin, and in the third, the D' Gari® milk strawberry flavor gelatin. Mix perfectly and let the mixtures cool. Do not let it completely gel; it should have a gummy texture. Place 2 tablespoons of each mixture on the tamal leaves; in the strawberry mixture, add small pieces of strawberry, and in the walnut mixture, add chopped walnuts and wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set. Decorate the tamales with strawberries and walnuts. Serve with your preferred beverage.

Tips

When letting the gelatin cool to form the tamales, do not refrigerate; cool at room temperature so it does not harden and maintains the ideal consistency for shaping the tamales.
