When I first started my blog, I had an amazing guest post from Juliette Francois that basically rocks. It’s about cloud jellies. They have been a frequent addition to our lunchboxes since Juliette shared her method with us. But now, I’m sharing you my hack: even easier mixed berry cloud jellies.
I’ve been having fun in the kitchen making some videos lately, you can check out the one for these here:
You probably have realised I’m all about making things as quickly, healthily and easily as you can, so this is why I decided to try and make cloud jellies even easier. I love that cloud jellies get sliced up and that they are freezable, and also able to go to school in the lunchbox, but I don’t love any extra fiddling with gelatin, juice etc, so I wanted to make these super simple. There is a layered version of these in my ebook too.
Why do kids love cloud jellies? Well, they are jelly. Enough said right? So why should adults love them? When made with good quality gelatin, good quality yoghurt (I make my own…find out how here!) and just fruit as a sweetener they are a healthy treat that helps to satisfy hungry little humans at lunch. There’s no refined sugar in these, so you aren’t giving kids a sugar high, instead you are helping them power through to the last bell with some extra protein and the health benefits of gelatin.
If your kids can’t eat all of these in a few days, then you can freeze them and they hold their shape when defrosted in the fridge ready to go in the lunchbox.
Now, if you get into the cloud jellies and love them…you can try this blueberry cloud jelly cheesecake!

What a total disaster.
I just ended up with lumps of gelatin almost like rubber amongst my mixture.
Help!
Oh no- what type of gelatin did you use?
It says reconstituted apple purée 85%, strawberry purée 10%, reconstituted pear purée 4.9%, bit c, inulin
You could try, worst case it will stay runny, and then you just eat it as though it is yoghurt.
Golden circle strawberry squeeze, mixed berries etc
I’m not entirely sure, what is there water content? It could really change the substance of the recipe, but you could give it a go!
Golden circle. Strawberry squeeze etc
Hi kylie, any chance the puree pouches can be used in this ? I know it’s got a lot of sugar but that’s all I have in the cupboard atm. How would I alter the recipe for these ?
Hi Kasey, what sort of pouches?
[…] Even easier mixed berry cloud jellies. These couldn’t be easier! And there is a video for those of you that still think they are too hard! They freeze well, are super yummy and are perfect in the lunchbox. […]
[…] More lebanese bread wraps, this time chicken and mayonnaise, some baked pancake bites in the yumbox minisnacks. Cloud jellies with the wraps from the new easier recipe for them I’ve just updated. […]
Kylie, I’m guessing it’s 3 tablespoons of gelatine (as in video), not 3 teaspoons (as in written recipe). Mine haven’t set and i think I’ve worked out why, lol.
Yes, all fixed now!
Yes it is! Need to fix this!
Hi Kylie, thank u for the awesome recipe!
Can I ask how could I get some yoghurt starter cultures?
Many thanks,
Aditee
The cheesemaking workshop sells it online, but if you have a local home brew shop, they normally sell it too!
