Ingredients:
For the biscuit base:
200g digestive biscuits (or any plain biscuits)
50g melted butter
For the creamy layer:
250g cream cheese (softened)
200ml heavy cream
100g powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp gelatin powder (dissolved in 2 tbsp warm water)
For the jelly layer:
1 packet fruit-flavored jelly (such as strawberry or orange)
200ml water (for preparing jelly)
Instructions:
Prepare the Biscuit Base:
Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin.
Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until the crumbs are well coated.
Press the biscuit mixture into the base of a serving dish (a square or rectangular dish works best) to form an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the next layers.
Make the Creamy Layer:
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Dissolve the gelatin in warm water and mix it into the creamy filling. Stir until everything is well blended.
Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the chilled biscuit base.
Prepare the Jelly:
Follow the instructions on the jelly packet to dissolve it in hot water. After it’s fully dissolved, add the cold water and let the mixture cool slightly.
Once the jelly has cooled to room temperature but hasn’t yet set, pour it gently over the creamy layer.
Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 4 hours or until the jelly has fully set and the dessert is firm.
Serve:
Once set, slice the dessert into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.
Description:
This Creamy Biscuit Jelly Dessert offers the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. The crunchy biscuit base adds texture, while the smooth cream layer provides a rich, velvety flavor. The colorful jelly topping adds a refreshing fruity taste and a visually stunning layer to the dessert. Whether you’re making it for a special occasion or just a weekend treat, it’s sure to impress!
Tips:
Make sure the jelly is completely cooled before pouring it over the creamy layer to avoid it melting into the cream.
For extra flavor, you can add fruit slices (such as strawberries or peaches) in between the creamy layer and jelly layer.
If you don’t have gelatin, you can use agar-agar as a vegetarian substitute, following the package instructions.
You can experiment with different flavors of jelly to customize the dessert based on your preferences or the season.
Variations:
Chocolate Biscuit Base: Use chocolate biscuits for the base to give it a chocolaty twist.
Mixed Berry Jelly: Use a mix of berries (like raspberry, blueberry, or blackberry) for the jelly topping for a more complex fruity flavor.
Lemon Cream Layer: Add some lemon zest or lemon juice to the cream mixture for a tangy contrast with the sweetness of the jelly.
Tropical Jelly: Use pineapple or coconut jelly and add crushed pineapple pieces in the cream layer for a tropical version of this dessert.
Corrections:
If you prefer a firmer dessert, use a little more gelatin in the creamy layer, or reduce the amount of whipped cream.
Ensure the jelly has fully cooled before pouring it over the cream layer to prevent it from melting the cream.
Enjoy:
Now that your creamy biscuit jelly dessert is ready, gather your friends and family and indulge in this delicious, no-bake treat. Perfect for any occasion, this dessert will certainly be a hit with its layers of flavor and texture!
