Paperweight-Like Desserts

The Gelatinas Dessert is Way Too Pretty to Eat

I can't stop looking at the Gelatinas dessert as though they were pretty, retro paperweights. But the fact that they are actually edible desserts has me in awe. These breathtaking treats are like works of art that shouldn't be turned into mush in the belly.

Created by Rosario Gamboa, the Gelatinas dessert takes on a floral shape with a gelatin encasing. These fruit-flavored treats originate from Mexico. These healthy snacks contain no fats and few calories and can be made in 10 minutes.
