What goes into the recipe

don't forget to scroll to the recipe card for full amounts and method

ingredients for layered jelly: lime jelly, strawberry jelly, white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, gelatine, berrues for on top

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.

How to make this recipe

First make the red jelly according to the packet instructions. Pour into your glass. Allow to set for 2 hours. (Images 1 and 2)
Add the gelatine to boiling water and mix well. (Image 3)
Melt the white chocolate. I used the microwave and followed the packet instructions. (Image 4)

Expert Tips and FAQs

How can I make these layered jellies quicker?

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!

Can I make one large jelly?

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.
