A Pinterest inspired dessert, this one is another easy one for Christmas, but not so quick - only because of all the setting time required for jelly making. I was originally after a Christmas dessert I could make the weekend before Christmas, but found this and fell in love with it instead. As it turns out, jelly only lasts 3 or so days (according to the jelly box) so you can't make it too far in advance, but the day/night before is a must simply for setting times.
Once again though, this one was loved by all who saw and tasted it, so it might pop up again at future Christmases if I ever become less motivated to try something new each year!
Ingredients:
- 1 packet of red jelly (I used 1, recommend using 2 though)
- 1 packet of green jelly (I used 1, recommend using 2 though)
- 740g can of condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons gelatine powder (check instructions on gelatine packet, may differ)
- water
Method:
Step 1: Make the red and green jelly according to packet instructions and refrigerate to set. Once set, tip it out and cut/break it into small cubes/pieces. I can recommend using rectangular containers to set the jelly in because its much easier than say, the round container I used in the photo below for the red jelly.
Step 2: Put the red and green jelly pieces into a lightly greased wreath shaped / bundt cake tin.
Step 3: Sprinkle gelatine powder over 1 1/2 cups of cold water and allow gelatine to absorb the water. Stir in 1 1/4 cups of boiling water until gelatin is dissolved and then stir in the condensed milk. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 4: Pour condensed milk gelatine mix over the red and green jelly in the cake tin and refrigerate until set.
The red and green jelly all floated to the top of the unset mixture, which meant it was on the bottom of the set mixture once it was turned out onto a plate. Next time, I'll double the red and green jelly mix to see if it is more evenly spread through.
Delicious and looks good even if it doesn't look as good as I wanted it to! ;-)
