Today, I’m sharing a simple and elegant strawberry jelly made with frozen strawberries—a dessert you can enjoy all year round.
It’s easy to prepare, looks beautiful on the table, and is always a favourite with children.
【Ingredients (Serves 4)】
- 300 g frozen strawberries
- 50 g sugar
- 10 g powdered gelatin
- 200 ml water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp condensed milk
- 80 ml fresh cream
【How to Make】
1.(Optional, for best colour) If you have time, sprinkle the frozen strawberries with sugar and refrigerate for 24 hours.
This helps bring out a deeper, more beautiful red colour in the jelly.
If you’re short on time, you can skip this step.
2.Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 3 tbsp of water (extra, not included in the ingredients list) and let it bloom.
3.Combine200 ml of water and the strawberries from Step 1 (including any juices) in a small pot, and heat over medium heat. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat immediately, then add the bloomed gelatin and lemon juice from Step 2, stirring until fully dissolved.
4.Let the mixture cool, then pour it into a container. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until set.
5.Mix the condensed milk and fresh cream together to make a simple milk sauce.
6.Serve the strawberry jelly chilled, topped with the milk sauce.
【A Little Tip】
The contrast of bright red and creamy white looks especially striking, so if you use a pretty glass or a clear container, it becomes an even more elegant dessert.
You can take your time with the 24-hour step, or make it quickly when you’re in a hurry—either way, it’s delicious.
I hope you’ll try it and enjoy it in your own style.
