- 85 grams jelly crystals (1 packet of aeroplane jelly in Australia) (choose your preferred flavour)
- 230 ml tin Nestle reduced fat cream (or same quantity of thickened cream or evaporated milk) (MUST be chilled in fridge first)
- 1 cup boiling water
- additional cream, diced fruit, mint leaves, ice cream (optional, to serve/garnish)
Combine jelly crystals with boiling water and stir to dissolve the crystals. Place into the fridge.
After 1-2 hours, the jelly should be partially set (but still able to be poured). Pour the jelly and the cream into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on slow (and then med-high speed as it thickens) in a stand mixer for about 5 minutes or until it thickens and looks more glossy.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl or 6 smaller bowls and place into fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
Serve with cream and fruit, or just eat it straight from the bowl.
Storing: Store in fridge. Should keep for up to 3 days.

TIPS:
Plan ahead as there is setting time involved.
The cream MUST be cold before you use it (even if it's the type of cream you would normally store in the cupboard).
The jelly is NOT made up according to the packet – only add the 1 cup boiling water to the jelly crystals.
When whipping cream and partially set jelly together, it should nearly double in size and become foamy.
