Jelly Cream

Preparation Time

Approximately 5 minutes plus setting time. 

Ingredients

• 1 x pack of jelly – I used port wine flavour, but any flavour should work
• 500ml of boiling water
• 5 tablespoons of thickened cream
• Chocolate and cream to serve

Method

Using boiling water, dissolve the jelly crystals in a heat-proof jug. Add 5 tablespoons of cream instead of the usual cold water. Stir the mixture and pour into serving bowls. Put the bowls in the freezer until the mixture sets – I left it for a couple of hours. Add a drizzle of cream and shave some chocolate on top before serving.

What worked?

Creamy texture, great colour and delicious.

What didn’t work?

Nothing.

Any surprises?

Yes! The jelly and cream separated, making two layers.

Cost?

Under $5 for two serves, not including leftover chocolate and cream.
