Cherries in the SnowRomulo Yanes

This is a poetic version of the traditional Chinese almond milk gelatin dessert. Whipping the milk gives the top layer of this dessert the appearance of snow. Fat-free (skim) milk will create the most foam.

Cooks' notes:

·Gelatin can be chilled up to 2 days ahead (cover after 45 minutes).
·Cherries in Port can be chilled (without bowl of ice water), covered, up to 1 week.
