Ingredients
- 4 packets of strawberry jelly powder (20 g each)
- 250 ml very hot water
- 250 ml very cold water
- 150 ml very hot water (second batch)
- 150 ml very cold water (second batch)
- 2 packs table cream (200 g each)
Instructions
Preparing the Jelly Base
- Dissolve Jelly Powder: In a medium bowl, add two packets of strawberry jelly powder (40 g total). Pour 250 ml of very hot water into the bowl. Using a spatula or spoon, mix thoroughly until the jelly powder is fully dissolved.
- Add Cold Water: Once the jelly powder is dissolved, add 250 ml of very cold water to the mixture. Stir well until fully combined.
- Prepare the Glass Dish: Lightly grease a medium glass dish (1.8 L) with a drop of vegetable oil. Use a paper towel to spread the oil evenly and remove any excess. This step helps the jelly release easily after setting.
- Chill the Jelly: Pour the prepared jelly mixture into the greased glass dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour, or until the jelly is firm.
Cutting the Jelly
- Cut the Jelly: Once the jelly is set, use a knife to cut it into one-finger-thick horizontal strips. Then, make cuts of the same thickness in the opposite direction to create small dice-shaped pieces.
- Release the Jelly Pieces: Using a spatula or spoon, gently release the jelly dices from the dish.
- Transfer the Jelly: Transfer the jelly dices to the glass dish in which you will be assembling the final dessert. Set aside.
Preparing the Creamy Jelly Mixture
- Dissolve Jelly Powder Again: In a medium bowl, add the remaining two packets of strawberry jelly powder (40 g total). Pour 150 ml of very hot water into the bowl. Using a whisk, mix until the jelly powder is fully dissolved.
- Add Cold Water Again: Add 150 ml of very cold water to the dissolved jelly mixture. Stir well until fully combined.
- Add Table Cream: Add two packs of table cream (200 g each) to the jelly mixture. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Assembling the Dessert
- Pour the Creamy Mixture: Pour the creamy jelly mixture over the jelly dices in the glass dish. Ensure that the dices are evenly distributed and covered with the creamy mixture.
- Chill the Dessert: Place the glass dish back in the refrigerator. Let the dessert chill for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.

- Serve and Enjoy: Once the dessert is fully set, cut it into slices and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy and jiggly textures with a burst of strawberry flavor.
