What each ingredient does
- Mayonnaise sauce
- Provides the creamy base and body for the mixture.
- Liquid aspic jelly
- Gelatin-based setting agent that lets the mixture firm into shapes.
The step that matters
Allow it to firm up before cutting. The mixture needs time to set fully in the pan; cutting too early leads to a soft, misshapen piece that loses its edges. Chilling until firm gives clean, stable shapes.
