Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Gelatin for Creamy Layer

Pour *25 grams (1 ounce) of gelatin* into *150 grams (5.5 ounces) of water*. Stir until well combined. Set aside to let it swell.

Step 2

Make Creamy Mixture

Add *230 grams (8 ounces) of sugar* to *180 grams (6.25 ounces) of boiling water* and stir until dissolved.

In a large bowl, combine *480 grams (17 ounces) of sour cream* with *150 grams (5.5 ounces) of heavy cream* and the sugar syrup. Beat with a mixer until smooth.

Step 3

Incorporate Gelatin

Heat the swollen gelatin in the microwave for a few seconds until melted. Pour it into the creamy mixture and beat again until fully combined.

Pour the creamy jelly into a mold and refrigerate for *3-4 hours* to set completely.

Step 4

Prepare Transparent Jelly

After the creamy jelly has set, start on the transparent jelly. Pour *15 grams (0.5 ounces) of gelatin* into *90 grams (3 ounces) of water* and stir. Let it swell for about 15 minutes.

Add *2 tablespoons of lemon juice* and *60 grams (2 ounces) of sugar* to *280 grams (10 ounces) of boiling water*. After adding the swollen gelatin, stir until fully combined and let the mixture cool completely.

Cut the jelly into segments, leaving some parts intact. Arrange the segments back into the mold, leaving spaces between them for berries or fruit.

Fill the spaces with fresh berries or fruit of your choice. Pour the cooled transparent jelly over the entire setup and refrigerate for a few more hours to set.

Faq

  • How do I ensure my gelatin sets properly?

    Make sure to let the gelatin bloom fully in cold water before heating it. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.

  • Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?

    Yes, you can use frozen berries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before adding. This will prevent excess water from diluting the jelly.

  • What is the best way to unmold the jelly?

    Dip the mold briefly in warm water for about 15-20 seconds. This will loosen the jelly, making it easier to remove.

  • Can I add different flavors to the jelly?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fruit juices or extracts to add a variety of flavors.

  • How far in advance can I make this dessert?

    You can prepare the jelly 1-2 days in advance. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

  • Is there a way to make the transparent jelly layer clearer?

    Use filtered water and avoid stirring too vigorously to keep the jelly clear. Also, cool the mixture completely before pouring it over the first layer.
