There's no need to pick a lot of berries or fruits of one type: it's better to take a little bit of everything, then the flavors will be much more varied.

Recipe:

  1. Add each packet of jelly to boiled water and dissolve completely. Follow the instructions on the packet. It's best to use multi-colored jelly, with each color poured into its own mold.
  2. Place the instant gelatin in hot boiled water and add vanilla sugar. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Beat sugar with sour cream.
  4. Add gelatin to the sour cream and continue whisking.
  5. Cut the hardened jelly into pieces and place the cubes randomly on the dessert base, alternating with chopped fruits and berries.
  6. Fill the finished mound with sour cream and refrigerate. Ideally, the jelly cake should sit in a cool place overnight to set.
  7. To separate the jelly cake from the mold, dip the mold in cool water for a few seconds before serving.

A jelly cake can be made using a shortbread cookie base. The recipe is also quite simple and doesn't take much time. To make it, you'll need:

  • half a kilo of sour cream;
  • 20 grams of gelatin;
  • 150 grams of sugar;
  • 120 grams of shortbread cookies;
  • fruits (kiwi, peaches, pears, cherries).

Step-by-step recipe:

  1. Pour water over the gelatin and leave it to swell for half an hour.
  2. At this time, thoroughly beat the sugar with sour cream using a mixer.
  3. Prepare the fruit: peel the kiwis, peaches and pears, and remove the pits from the cherries.
  4. Break the cookies into small pieces.
  5. During this time, the gelatin will have time to swell. Now you can warm it slightly to completely dissolve it.
  6. Pour the prepared gelatin mixture into the sour cream and stir.
  7. Line the mold into which we will place the jelly cake with cling film.
  8. Place the fruit pieces on top, pour in the sour cream, and sprinkle the cookies evenly on top. Refrigerate.
