Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of fruit juice (such as grape or cherry, for vibrant colors)
- 1 package of unflavored gelatin powder (about 2 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup of cold water
- 1/2 cup of sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of your juice)
- Food coloring gels (purple, blue, green) for gemstone effect
- Fresh fruit slices or edible glitter (for extra fantasy appeal)
Instructions
- Begin by sprinkling the unflavored gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms and swells, creating a thick gel-like consistency.
- In a saucepan, gently heat 2 cups of your chosen fruit juice over low to medium heat. Do not boil. Once warm, stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add sugar if you prefer a sweeter Hobbit dessert.
- Pour the liquid into separate bowls, dividing as needed. Add drops of food coloring gels to each portion—purple, blue, and green—to mimic the magical gemstones of Erebor. Stir gently for even color distribution.
- Pour the colored gelatin layers into a carved stone bowl or individual molds, allowing each layer to set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Repeat with successive layers, creating vibrant, translucent gemstone effects.
- Once all layers are set, add edible glitter or slices of fresh fruit to enhance the fantasy food experience. Carefully unmold the jelly onto plates, revealing dazzling, gemstone-like layers.
Notes
- Use natural fruit juices for vibrant, authentic colors.
- Add edible gold or glitter for a more luxurious, treasure-like appearance.
- Experiment with different gemstone colors for a unique fantasy food experience.
- Serve in themed containers to enhance the fantasy atmosphere.
- Unmold the jelly delicately for a professional presentation that impresses all guests.
