Ingredients:
For the Thin Jelly:
- 280g water
- 30g granulated sugar
- 10g lemon juice
- 3g gelatin leaf
- 10g shaved ice syrup (blue)
For the Thick Jelly:
- 140g water
- 10g granulated sugar
- 10g lemon juice
- 3g gelatin leaf
- 160g shaved ice syrup (blue)
For the Cloud Cream:
- 50g fresh cream
- 5g granulated sugar
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
- Cherries (optional)
Instructions:
Preparation:
1. Soak Gelatin: Soak 3g of gelatin leaf for the thin jelly and 3g for the thick jelly in separate trays filled with water and ice. Let them sit until softened.
Making the Thin Jelly:
1. Heat Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine 280g of water, 30g of granulated sugar, and 10g of lemon juice. Heat until it starts to boil, then turn off the heat.
2. Dissolve Gelatin: Squeeze the excess water from the soaked gelatin leaves and add them to the hot mixture, stirring until dissolved.
3. Add Syrup: Strain the mixture into a tray or container, then add 10g of blue shaved ice syrup. Mix well.
4. Chill: Place the tray in ice water to cool, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight. This will create a loose jelly. For a firmer jelly, add an additional gram of gelatin.
Making the Thick Jelly:
1. Repeat Steps: Follow the same steps as for the thin jelly, but use 140g of water, 10g of granulated sugar, 10g of lemon juice, 3g of gelatin leaf, and 160g of blue shaved ice syrup. Chill overnight until set.
Making the Cloud Cream:
1. Whip Cream: In a bowl, combine 50g of fresh cream and 5g of granulated sugar. Whip until the cream is 80% stiff.
Assembling the Jelly:
1. Crush Jelly: Once both jellies have set, use a spoon to crush them.
2. Layer Jellies: Layer the crushed jellies into each wine glass, alternating to create a gradient of blue shades.
3. Add Cloud Cream: Add the whipped cream horizontally across the jelly layers to create the appearance of clouds.
4. Top: Optionally, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cherry for added flavor and decoration.
Enjoy your beautiful and refreshing Jiggly Blue Sky Jelly, perfect for any occasion where you want to wow your guests with a unique and delightful treat!
