What goes into the recipe

- gelatine- this is essential! It is what sets your sweetened condensed milk layer. If you want the whole think to set quicker, you can also pop extra gelatine in the jelly layers!
- white chocolate- makes the sweetened condensed milk layer like a pannacotta! Use melts to make it super quick and easy.
- jelly- I have previously used the all natural ones, with no problems, but this time I used the normal ones.

Expert Tips and FAQs
You can pop an extra teaspoon of gelatin into each of the jellies and then they will set even quicker than the 2 hours I'm allowing per layer. This also works for the white chocolate condensed milk layer, add an extra teaspoon of gelatin and it will set a lot quicker!
Yes! It looks great in a trifle bowl or similar! You can also make them even smaller than these- a great idea if they are one of many desserts on a table.

You say "one tin" of sweetened condensed milk. You really need to give the actual volume or weight as the size of a tin varies. Could you please provide the information? Thanks

My sister cant eat chocolate, other than carob (yukky) can I substitute the chocolate with anything else please?
Kylie says
No really, it helps to set it and turn it to a pannacotta consistency.
