  • 1¼ cup (310ml / 10.5floz) thickened or heavy cream (NOTE 2)

  • Mix jelly crystals with boiled water, then fridge until syrup-like consistency. Depending on the level of coldness in your fridge, this could take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes.
    making jelly
  • Combine the cream and jelly in a large bowl, then whip on high speed using a hand or stand mixer for 5 minutes or until it thickens and doubles in volume. Distribute the mixture among 4 glasses or bowls, then chill in the fridge for 2 hours or until it sets.

Notes

Flavoured Jelly or jello crystals - I used strawberry sugar-reduced jelly crystals or powder and it still worked wonderfully. It's a fantastic option for young children or those mindful of their sugar consumption. Of course, you have the option to use regular jelly crystals, which, in all honesty, taste better. Use your favourite flavour jelly crystals, the popular choices are raspberry, pineapple, lemon, or mango, which are the most popular choices.
Thickened cream (whipping cream or heavy cream) has thickening agents added, such as gelatine or vegetable gum. It usually contains 35% milk fat. You could swap for light thickened cream or chilled canned evaporated milk if preferred.
Leftovers - Once the Flummery has set, cover them loosely with cling / plastic wrap and they'll keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
