Ingredients

Directions

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

  2. Once set, fill the center with whipped cream, flavored and colored to complement the jelly.

  3. Garnish with preserved or fresh fruit.

  4. For Italian jelly, half-fill a mould with jelly.

  5. Cut blamange into equal thickness and size using a small round cutter and arrange it in a chain on top of the jelly.

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

  7. Optionally, add drained brandied morella cherries or other fruits into the jelly.

  8. To remove the jelly from the mould, pour water into the center tube.
