Broken Glass Dessert

Broken Glass Dessert

Ingredients

Lime flavored Jelly 1 packet
Orange flavored Jelly 1 packet
Strawberry flavored Jelly 1 packet
Boiling water, divided 3 cups
Cold water, divided 3 cups
Canned pineapple juice 1 cup
Gelatin powder 2 tbsp
Biscuit crumbs 2 ½ cups
Butter, melted ½ cup
Brown sugar ½ cup
Chilled cream 2 cups
Caster sugar ½ cup
Vanilla essence 1 tsp

Method

1. Place lime, orange, and strawberry jelly crystals into 3 separate 
9x9-inch glass dishes.
2. Pour 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of gelatin mix; stir 
the gelatin until dissolved.
3. Pour 1 cup cold water into each flavor of gelatin, stir to 
combine, and refrigerate the 3 flavors of gelatin until set, at least 4 hours.
4. Heat pineapple juice in a saucepan until hot but not simmering. 
Stir gelatin into pineapple juice until dissolved. 
Refrigerate pineapple juice mixture until cool and thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5. Mix biscuit crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar 
together in a bowl. Set 1 cup of crumb mixture aside for garnish. Press remaining 2 cups crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch cake pan to make a crust.
6. Pour cream into a large metal mixing bowl and beat with an 
electric mixer until the cream is fluffy and forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Slowly beat sugar into whipped cream, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time; beat in vanilla extract.
7. Cut the different flavors of jelly into cubes. Use a thin
spatula to lift the cubes away from the bottom of the dish and loosen them.
8. Very gently fold the thickened pineapple juice and jelly cubes 
into the whipped cream mixture until thoroughly combined. Spoon into the biscuit crust.
9. Sprinkle the cake with reserved biscuit crumb mixture.
10. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours to overnight
