Vancy Jellies

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare a jelly and pour it into a mould with a cylindrical tube in the center.

  2. Whip cream and flavor it to complement the jelly, then fill the center tube with it.

  3. Garnish with preserved or fresh fruit.

  4. Half-fill the mould with jelly and let it set.

  5. Cut blamange into small rounds and arrange them in the jelly.

  6. Fill the mould with the remaining jelly, ensuring it is nearly cold but not set.

  7. For added effect, use a smaller mould to create a space for fruit, then fill it with more jelly.
