1	qt	2% milk
1/3	c	NutraSweet Spoonful
1/4		To 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

As luscious as its name sounds, this oriental-inspired dessert is the smooth, creamy kind everyone has room for.

SPRINKLE GELATIN over milk in medium saucepan; let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in NutraSweet Spoon- ful and almond extract.

POUR MIXTURE into serving bowl; refrigerate until mixture is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites, about 1 hour. Stir in oranges. Refrigerate until custard is set, 2 to 3 hours. Spoon into individual dishes.

NOTE: After stirring oranges into the custard, the mixture can be spooned into individual dishes or stemmed goblets; refrigerate as above. Sweet cherries, peach slices, or other fruit can be substituted for the oranges.
