A basic Jelly and Custard recipe is quiet simple dessert, even simpler when they have directions provided in a package. In fact, I had earlier posted a photo on my Facebook page without the recipe. I thought that the recipe is very basic. Anyone would be capable of making it. Nevertheless, I wanted to share the recipe that would absolutely impress anyone especially if your a beginner. So, if your on Facebook and have missed some of my posts make sure to check it out. Also, My Instagram page is very active. 🙂
Nowadays, I’m a decent from scratch cook when it comes to baking or even making desserts. Before making this dessert, I had to plan. I needed to decide whether to prepare the jelly first or the custard. I also had to organize my other chores. It’s very simple with less effort, mix it with fresh fruits or just eat plain. Not many think of eating plain I believe? You see a bowl of only Jello for a reason. I love eating plain raspberry or strawberry Jello just like that!
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Setting time: 1 – 2 hrs
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
Muffin pan & 2 Dessert/Wine glasses for setting the jelly
For the jelly: I prepared this first and kept overnight in the fridge to set.
Jelly pack, raspberry flavor – 1 (90 g pack, used half the pack)
Water – 250 ml ( 125 ml hot water + 125 ml cold water)
Caster Sugar – 2 tbsp or more
For the Custard: The next day
Custard powder – 4 tbsp (Bird’s custard powder, original flavor)
Cold milk – 900 ml
Caster sugar – 4 tbsp or more
Directions
Jelly
I used half the pack. The package comes with directions. Here is a more precise method I used for half pack jelly crystals. You can double the water content for whole pack.
1. Open the package.
Heat a saucepan with 125 ml water. You can also use a microwave to heat the water. The container must be capable of filling 250 ml.
2. Pour half pack of jelly crystals (I didn’t measure) into hot water. Add 2 tbsp of sugar.
Dissolve Jelly, stir it until it dissolves. Once dissolved mix the rest 125 ml of cold water.
3. Prepare the muffin pan by spreading a long towel over it.
Start by positioning the glass. Rest its base over a long towel at a 45 degree angle. This ensures it doesn’t slip. Roll the opposite corner of the towel to support the rim as seen below. Now, remove the glasses without moving the tray & pour the jelly halfway.
Put them back onto the tray. Place them in the refrigerator at the top of the shelf for 1 hour. Keep them there until they are set. They will set perfectly as long as they are not disturbed. I left it overnight in the fridge.
Custard
1. Take any cup filled with 1/2 cup cold milk taken from 900 ml of milk. Add 4 tbsp of custard powder with 4 tbsp sugar.
2. Mix smoothly until dissolved. In the meantime, place the rest of the milk in a saucepan to heat.
3. When nearly boiling. remove from heat, pour the mixed custard to milk, stir well.
4. Return the custard to heat and bring to boil, stirring continuously. Let it cool.
Pour the custard into the set jelly glass. Place it back in the fridge and serve when ready.
Rest of the custard I mixed it with different fruits like papaya, apple, banana and served cold. You can serve warm or chilled.
Enjoy the creamy custard with jelly!
Stay Healthy!
Note:
*Half pack of Jello is good enough to fill the glasses. The rest of the pack I used to eat plain 🙂
