In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved but do not let the mixture boil.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm milk mixture and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or a large dish. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

While the jello is setting, wash, peel, and chop the fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces.

Once the jello has set, top it with the fresh fruits and garnish with mint leaves if desired.

Serve chilled and enjoy!
