Method

  1. Crush the oat1 cookies, mix with melted butter2, and press firmly into a springform pan.

  2. Soak half the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes, then warm gently until dissolved—do not boil.

  3. Whip the cream3 cheese with sour cream and sugar until smooth, fold in the dissolved gelatin, and mix well.

  4. Spread the filling over the base, level the top, and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.

  5. Peel the oranges8, arrange some segments on top. Dissolve the remaining gelatin in orange juice, heat until smooth, then cool to a warm state.

  6. Pour the jelly over the oranges8 and refrigerate for another 4 hours until firm enough to slice.

Tips

Why it works
Warm the gelatin over low heat so it dissolves evenly and doesn't lose its setting power from boiling. Overheating makes it brittle and useless for the jelly.
Substitutions
Use Maria biscuits (20 pcs) instead of oat cookies. They're crunchy, but the layer will be thinner. Use mandarin juice (25 ml) instead of orange juice, but the jelly will be less rich.
Common mistakes
If the cream doesn't set within 2 hours, the gelatin hasn't fully dissolved or there's too little of it. Make sure the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cut and serve right away, don't warm. Don't freeze: the jelly will turn watery.
Serve with
Serve at a birthday with tea or coffee, when guests want a light sweet pause between the main dishes.
