Fruit Cups
A refreshing dessert made by layering milk jelly and orange jelly, garnished with fruit.
Ingredients
milk
600 ml
fine granulated sugar
30 g
cornstarch
4½ tbsp
almond extract (if available)
a pinch
orange juice (100% juice)
400 ml
fine granulated sugar
10 g
powdered gelatin
4 g
cold water (for soaking gelatin)
2 tbsp
blueberries, strawberries
to taste each
chervil
to taste
Instructions
1
Preliminary Preparation
Sift the powdered gelatin into cold water using a sieve, and let it soak.
2
Make the Milk Jelly Mixture
Combine ingredient A in a small saucepan and mix well. Turn on the heat, stirring with a wooden spatula over low heat.
3
Cool the Milk Mixture
When step 1 begins to bubble and thickens, remove from the heat. Add the almond extract, and place the pan over a bowl of cold water, stirring as it cools.
4
Set the Milk Jelly
Once the liquid from step 2 has cooled, pour it evenly into glasses and refrigerate until set.
5
Make the Orange Jelly Mixture
Combine ingredient B in another small saucepan and turn on the heat. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, add the gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.
6
Set the Orange Jelly
Pour step 4 into an enamel tray, let the steam dissipate, then refrigerate until set.
7
Crumble the Orange Jelly
Once the orange jelly has set, break it all up with a spoon. The jelly is fairly soft, so even after setting it remains in a soft state.
8
Layer in Glasses
Place the crumbled jelly from step 6 into the containers from step 3, arranging it as two layers of milk jelly and orange jelly.
9
Garnish
Arrange blueberries and strawberries in the center of the orange jelly, then add a few chervil leaves.
