Jelly layers: general principles of preparation
Preparing such a dish is not difficult, the main thing is to choose the right products and comply with all technologies. The simplest option would be to buy ready-made jelly powder. In this case, you can simply follow the instructions on the packaging. After this, you can slowly pour colored layers on top of each other, previously allowing each to freeze.
You can make multi-layer jelly more original with the help of a bowl mounted in the refrigerator at an angle. Thus, the dessert will harden with a striped diagonal. And the top layer can be performed in the usual horizontal position. Additionally, pieces of fruit or berries are sometimes added to the jelly. Thus, dessert can be made softer and more contrast. In addition, the milk layer will be harmoniously felt.
Having decided on the appearance of the future dish, you should prepare each of the ingredients in different vessels. It’s better to start with the jelly that appears at the very beginning. Each layer should be added only if the finished part solidifies. So you can achieve the most beautiful cut. Important - do not let the workpieces freeze in advance. But, in this case, they can simply be slightly warmed up in the microwave.
To avoid the spread of dessert, you must wait until each previous layer solidifies. In addition, the liquid should be poured carefully, without falling onto the walls of the mold. In this case, the finished product will look as aesthetically pleasing as possible. The height of the layers should be determined at its discretion, paying attention to the number of ingredients.
