"SLC-S25/W3 | Broken Glass Jelly Pudding"

Greetings and welcome to my blog, Today I am glad to participate in this new weeks dessert challenge. We keep learning everyday and the challenge gets more interesting. When I saw this week challenge, I was excited to participate but I didn’t know I was going to have challenges with getting jelly packets. Jelly packets are not popular here at all. I went from one baking shop to the other but they don’t even know what jelly packets are.

I showed them the pictures from my phone and they don’t have it and there are no alternatives either. I felt disappointed but I really wanted to participate in the challenge. While I was leaving the market in frustration after searching from shop to shop and no answer, I just had this thought to create my own jelly packets. I was excited. I bought more gelatine and I decided to use the colours I had left over from the cake classes of the last season to make jelly packets. So I will share the process of making my own jelly packets in the procedure using food coloring and gelatine.

Make the given recipe in detail with step by step pictures. Include your name tag with the date at the final presentation of the recipe.

First step would be to dissolve the jelly packets in hot water but I had to make my jelly packets first. So I added gelatine to three small plates and added hot water to them to dissolve. Then I proceeded to add the colors to each of the plates. I added green colour, pink colour and chocolate color.

I think I added the colours much and hence I got deep colors instead of light colors variations but it was still good. I stirred all the mixtures differently and then put them in the refrigerator.

Step 2: I put water into another clean bowl and added gelatine to it and allowed it to soak for a while

Step 3: I brought another bowl and added the milk into it and then I poured in the gelatine mixture into it and mixed them thoroughly together.

Step 4: It’s now time to prepare my broken glass jelly pudding. I brought out the jelly mixture from the fridge and cut them into pieces and it was really good, I got my jelly crystals. I was happy I could improvise with it.

Step 5: I brought another bowl and added some of the jelly crystal into it and poured the milk and gelatine mixture in. I also added more of it and poured in the remaining mixture of milk and gelatine.

I put it into the fridge and allowed it to rest for two hours. And after two hours, I brought it out and my broken glass jelly pudding was ready.

Did you enjoy the taste of the Broken Glass Jelly Pudding you made? Or did you give it to someone else?
Can you describe it?.

Hmmm, my experience with the making of this broken glass jelly pudding was fantastic as I believed it brought out a part of me that could look for alternatives to getting what I wanted and first I loved the feeling the final outcome gave to me. Looking at the broken glass jelly pudding staring at me was satisfying. I didn’t even want to cut it up because it was so beautiful and the taste was amazing.

It’s like a colored picture of goodness put together. I shared it with a colleague in the hostel. She saw me making it and asked what I was doing. I was trying to describe it to her but she wasn’t understanding it. So when I finished preparing it and took it to her. She was very surprised. She said it looked far from what she had in mind and she liked it. So we both enjoyed the broken glass jelly pudding. A sweet and classy dessert for a beautiful day.
