🛒 Ingredients

6 servings

6
  • 3 packs strawberry flavored gelatin (3 oz / 85 g each)
  • 1¾ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water

Directions

  1. 1

    Dissolve all three strawberry gelatin packets in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring for about 2 minutes until fully dissolved. Add the sugar and stir until completely incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add 1 cup of cold water to cool the mixture to lukewarm, then pour in the heavy whipping cream. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture into a large mold or individual serving glasses and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours.

  4. 4

    As it sets, the gelatin and cream naturally separate into two gorgeous layers. Serve chilled and enjoy the wow factor!

💡 Chef's Tip

The secret to perfect layers is temperature: let the gelatin mixture cool to lukewarm before adding the cream. Cold cream poured into a hot mixture won't separate as cleanly.
