1cupfrozen mixed summer fruits
1tbspcream cheeseI used a half fat version
200mldouble creamI used a reduced fat one
1tbspcaster sugar
A few drops of vanilla extract
Instructions
Make up the jelly according to pack instructions – generally 1/3 pint boiling water to dissolve the cubes, then add cold water up to 1 pint.
Share out the frozen fruits between 4 wine glasses and pour the jelly until each glass is about half full.
Put the glasses into the fridge and leave for 2-3 hours to allow the jelly has set.
Make the topping by whipping the cream with a whisk until thick and light. Add the cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugar. Beat with a spoon to combine the ingredients, then whisk again.
Spoon the cream mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto the top of the set jellies, with as many waves, layers and extravagance as you like!
Finish with a few frozen fruits as decoration and return to the fridge for another hour, to give the top fruits a chance to thaw and to chill the desserts.
