Method
Pour some of the cold juice over the gelatin and let stand for 10 minutes to bloom.
Cut the kiwi4, strawberries5, and orange1 into small pieces, and halve the grapes7.
Warm the remaining juice with the sugar for 3–4 minutes until dissolved, without boiling.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm juice and stir until completely smooth.
Divide some of the fruit among the cups and pour in a thin layer of jelly.
Chill for 20–30 minutes until lightly set, then add the remaining fruit and juice.
Refrigerate the cups for 3–4 hours, until the jelly is fully set.
Tips
- Why it works
- Pour cold juice over the gelatin so it swells evenly and doesn't form lumps when heated. If you overheat the juice, it loses its aroma and turns dull.
- Substitutions
- Replace the strawberry with 30 g raspberries or the kiwi with 25 g peach. Grapefruit juice works instead of orange, but reduce the sugar to 5 g.
- Common mistakes
- If the jelly doesn't set, the gelatin didn't dissolve fully or the juice was too hot. Check that the surface is smooth, with no liquid.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 15 seconds, adding 1 tsp water. Don't freeze, the structure will spoil.
- Serve with
- Serve at a birthday with tea or as an afternoon snack when you want something fresh and sweet without effort.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
