Sorry to be unhelpful, but I guess that's just how I am.

Aspic is not a dessert. I've never had one that was the least sweet.
It uses gelatin like Jello, but the resemblance ends with the texture.
Furthermore, most kids I've met (like me) hated aspic. It wasn't until
I was an adult that I developed a taste for it.

I'm not a big fan of desserts anyway, and they don't fit that well into
my diet. I'm not alone in that. Even if all your students are lean and
trim (pretty unlikely), at least some of the adults might like an
alternative. I like a nice tomato salad, especially if made with garden
tomatoes. I don't have a recipe, but we use chopped tomatoes, cucumbers
and onions with an oil and vinegar dressing.
