We could all use a little festive fun right now, so food writer Libby Kimber this week brings you some colourful recipes that will taste as good as they look.
Rainbow lemonade jelly layers
- 1L SodaStream sparkling water
- Soda Press Co organic lemonade syrup
- Mix of coloured jelly packets (I used purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red jelly)
Vanilla panna cotta
- 750ml cream, pure
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 vanilla pods
- 20g titanium-strength gelatine leaves, soaked in cold water to soften
- 250ml milk
Fill a SodaStream 1 litre bottle to the fill line with cold water and carbonate.
To make the rainbow lemonade jelly layers, mix the sparkling water with lemonade syrup. Set aside.
Prepare all of the jelly flavours in separate bowls to packet instructions, adding the lemonade mixture in place of the cold water. Set aside.
For the vanilla panna cotta, combine the cream, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over medium-low heat and gently warm. Squeeze excess water from the gelatine and stir into the cream mixture until dissolved, then stir in the milk. Strain mixture into a large bowl or jug and set aside for 15 minutes or until lightly set.
Pour a thin layer of purple jelly into the base of a serving dish. Place in the fridge to lightly set, then top with a thin layer of panna cotta, making sure the layers are even. Return to the fridge to lightly set. Continue layering evenly with all the colours of jelly (in whatever order you like!) and remaining panna cotta mixture, making sure you allow each layer to set slightly before adding the next. Once layered, transfer the serving bowl to the fridge to set completely before serving.
