Jelly Mousse Cups

If you have to churn up a dessert at short notice … these layered jelly mousse cups are the best bet. Use any flavoured jelly that you fancy. Add in any fruit that you have at hand. No rules really.

This layered fruit jelly mousse is a soft set dessert. I like it soft when setting it in a cup or a glass. You can reduce the quantity of whipped cream to achieve a firm setting. (1 part jelly : ½ part whipped cream)

A great project to do with kids too.
