Felt like having jelly. Went to get aeroplane jelly and came back straight away make them. This is my easy dessert but have to wait for it to set takes time at least 4-6 hours before I could eat it. The heart shape jelly link is attached below.

You can choose your favourite flavoured jelly. For variety and fun, I have use heart shape moulds to make jelly for garnish as well as having ice cream with it. Jelly can be a snack for kids coming home from school especially when the days are hot it’s cooling to have jelly with ice cream. You can make it in the morning after the kids are in school. When they come back, they can have it for afternoon tea snack.  

Google: “a fruit-flavoured dessert made by warming and then cooling a liquid containing gelatin or a similar setting agent in a mould or dish so that it sets into a semi-solid, somewhat elastic mass. Some jelly is made by extracting fruit juice and cooking it with sugar and pectin (natural or commercially made) to thicken it to a firm, but spreadable consistency. It’s often used with whole fruits that have seeds in them or skins, like grapes, cranberries, and raspberries.”

“Gelatin contains proteins and antioxidants, which help protect the cells in the body, that can support the health of the digestive system, bones, skin, joints, and more. It’s also an excellent source of: Calcium. Magnesium.”

My mischievous nephew pop by from his abacus class as his mom wanted to go and get groceries. I gave him one to keep him quiet, he said this is the best treat he has ever gotten, it’s delicious and cooling for his throat. Let’s make jelly!!!

Ingredients

1 packet aeroplane jelly, strawberry flavour
250 ml hot boiling water
200 ml cold water (tap water)

Garnish

heart shape jelly
ice cream

Method

Put kettle on. Place strawberry jelly powder in a metal bowl. When water is boil, pour it into the powder, stir until powder dissolved. Next add in water and stir again. Make sure jelly powder is completely dissolved.

Let it stand for about 5 minutes. Then spoon about 1/4 spoon into each glass. I make 12 glasses. If you fill jelly half of the glass it will be 6 glasses. Place into fridge for it to set about 4-6 hours. It can be overnight.

Once it had set, scoop a scoop of ice cream and place it inside the jelly. Next place the heart shape mould jelly on top of the ice cream. Serve immediately. Enjoy!!!
