  3. Off the heat, add the squeezed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.
  4. Add the orange blossom water and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Cut the fruit into small cubes and arrange them at the bottom of a dampened mould.
  6. Pour the milky mixture over the fruit, let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until the dessert is firm, before unmoulding and cutting.
