Deliciously Simple No-Bake Gluten-Free Dessert Cups: A Sweet Trio of Strawberry, Jelly, and Custard
Easy Strawberry, Jelly and Custard Desserts So easy to make and perfect for parties Hi, I’m Jane and I live in the UK, near London Let’s get started First, we need to make 1 pint (2.4 cups / 20 fluid ounces / 568 ml) of strawberry jelly Check the instructions on your jelly packet Add enough boiling water to melt the jelly crystals Then add cold water until you have 1 pint (2.4 cups / 20 fluid ounces / 568 ml) of jelly Next, we remove the tops from 4 to 6 strawberries.
And cut them into small pieces Leave me a comment telling me where you are watching from Divide the strawberry pieces into your chosen dessert cups Can you resist eating a few pieces? 😋 Now it’s time to add the jelly I’ve put mine in a jug to make it easier to pour Top tip: make the jelly in a measuring jug Put the jellies in the fridge for an hour to set I’m making custard the easy way (add the ingredients straight into a saucepan).
2 heaped tablespoons (35 grams) will make 1 pint (2.4 cups / 20 fluid ounces / 568 ml) of custard I’m using half the amount as I’m only making 3 desserts today I’ll eat too many otherwise! Add 2 tablespoons (⅛ cup / 0.9 ounce / 25 grams) of granulated sugar I’m adding 1 tablespoon as I’m only making half a pint – you go ahead and add 2. Measure 1 pint (2.4 cups / 20 fluid ounces / 568 ml of milk into a jug Pour a small amount into the custard powder and whisk until it’s nice and smooth with no lumps When all the lumps have dissolved, stir in the rest of the milk.
Once the milk is stirred in, we can transfer the pan to the stove Heat the custard until it boils, stirring all the time to stop it sticking to the base of the pan when it is thick enough to leave trails, remove it from the heat. Pour your custard into a bowl to cool Cover it with film wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming Let the custard go completely cold. Let’s prepare some vanilla cream We need ⅓ pint (⅚ cups / 7 fluid ounces / 200 ml) of whipping cream 2 tablespoons (⅛ cup / 0.9 ounce / 25 grams) of granulated sugar.
And 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract Whisk it all together until soft peaks form when you lift the whisk This can take 3 or 4 minutes, just watch for waves to start developing There they are and nice soft peaks I’m using a 1M piping nozzle, but you can use any fancy one you like Put your piping bag in a glass to make it easier to fill Spoon in your vanilla cream Squeeze it to the bottom of the bag and set it aside for later.
Once the custard is cold, give it a quick whisk to loosen it Then spoon it into a piping bag to make it easier to use Squeeze it into the bottom of the bag and it’s ready to use Now for the fun part! Pipe a generous layer of custard onto each jelly You can go right to the top of each cup ** If you like this video, please hit the like button.
