Jello Custard Dessert | Fruit Custard With Jello || How to make jello custard with step-by-step photos and video
Jello custard is a literally lip-smacking layered jelly over fruit custard dessert, layered jelly, and custard is a delicious dessert that is so easy and requires no fancy ingredients.
I prepared two flavors of custard, vanilla and banana, and two jellies, one is banana and the other strawberry.
And made jello
custard in six glasses.3 glasses are the big ones, and the others are small. I
made five layers of custard and jelly in 3 big glasses. First, the bottom is a
jelly layer, then the custard layer, in the third layer, again jelly, and on top, banana
fruit custard, and the last layer is jelly.
Likewise, I
made 3 layers of custard in a small glass first layer is vanilla fruit custard, and then on top are two jelly layers, one on top of the other.
You can choose any flavor of jelly and custard that you want. I chose the strawberry flavor because I thought the red color and the green color looked great with the vanilla and banana custard. Just sprinkled some crushed white chocolate on top to make the contrast pop.
The custard
layer is my favorite. I have made this a million times. I use store-bought
custard powder to make my custards. They are quick and taste great. You can
definitely make custard from scratch, but it is a tricky process.
I used these cute little shot glasses. They are
so convenient when dealing with guests who whine about being too full for
desserts 😊
My Latest Jello Custard Dessert Video:
I served this dessert in jelly custard cups
because it does look fancy and
attractive. Although this recipe will seem a bit longer than other jello custard recipes, since I
wanted to do something unique and different in my style, this is the reason I did.
However, you can prepare the recipe in your style too 😊
For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips above the recipe card.
Recipe note:
When preparing your Jello Custard Dessert, it's best to avoid using citric fruits like lemons, oranges, or melons such as watermelon. Instead, opt for fruits like apples, bananas, grapes, mangoes, cherries, and peaches, which will hold up well and complement the flavors beautifully.
For an innovative presentation, consider creating diagonal layers of jelly and custard. You can use a box filled with rice to prop up your cups at an angle. Pour the hot jelly mixture into these cups and let them set in the fridge.
When you're ready to serve,
carefully spoon the custard on top of the jelly layers. For added flair,
consider garnishing with crushed chocolate, chocolate chips, cherries,
chocolate sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate your dessert!
I used three fruits: bananas, grapes, and apples. You can use your choice of fruits, including cocktail fruits if you prefer.
Red and green jellies are commonly used in custard pudding, and I used the same for my recipe. However, feel free to choose any jelly that you like best. Just keep in mind that the jellies I used contain gluten, which many people try to avoid. Gluten-free jellies are readily available in the market, so those can be a great alternative.
When it comes to custard, I opted for banana and vanilla flavors because they pair beautifully with the red and green jellies. I prepared the jelly gradually, only making as much as I needed at the time, rather than making it all at once.
An important tip: never pour hot jelly water over the custard, as this will cause it to mix. Let the jelly cool to room temperature before adding it.
