Ingredients
  

Jelly and Flummery Layers

  • 2 cups natural pomegranate juice no added sugar (480 ml) For keto, replace with raspberry juice
  • 2 Tbsp gelatine powder 18-20 g
  • ¼ cup cold water or cold juice 60 ml
  • 3 Tbsp sweetener powder monk fruit or stevia (18 g)

Cream Layer

  • cup thickened cream 80 g
  • ¼ cup sweetener powder monk fruit or stevia 36 g

White Chocolate Lace (Crack)

  • 2 Tbsp sugar-free white chocolate chips 22 g

Fruit

  • 1/3 cup Blueberries
  • 1/3 Raspberries
  • 3 Strawberries sliced
  • ¼ cup Cherries

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Jelly

  • In a small bowl, add the cold water or juice, then sprinkle the gelatine powder over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  • In a saucepan, heat the pomegranate juice and 2 Tbsp sweetener until it starts to simmer (do not boil). Taste it, and if you like it sweeter, add more sweetener.
  • Stir in the bloomed gelatine and whisk until fully dissolved.
  • Reserve 1 tsp of the jelly mixture for the flummery layer (Step 3).

    Step 2: Set the Jelly Layers at an Angle

    • Place the wine glasses on containers, cake molds, or a large bowl. Tilt the glasses to approximately 45 degrees. Secure them with a kitchen towel if needed to prevent them from tipping.
    • Divide ¾ of the jelly mixture between the glasses.
    • Transfer to the fridge and let it set for 2 hours.

    Step 3: Make the Flummery

    • Take the reserved 1 tsp of jelly mixture and add the cream and 1 Tbsp sweetener. Taste it, and if you like it sweeter, add more sweetener. Whisk until combined.
    • Let this mixture cool and set aside.
    • Once the jelly layer has set in the fridge, carefully remove the glasses from the containers/bowls and place them upright (this layer does not need to be angled).
    • Pour the flummery layer evenly into the glasses.
    • Refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour).

    Step 4: Prepare the Cream Layer

    • In a mixing bowl, mix the cream and sweetener powder together until soft peaks form.
    • Transfer the whipped cream to the fridge until ready to assemble.

    Step 5: Make the White Chocolate Lace (Crack)

    • Melt the sugar-free white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on low power, or use a double boiler.
    • On a sheet of baking paper, trace circles slightly larger than the rims of your glasses.
    • Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag. Cut a very small hole to create a thin drizzle.
    • Pipe patterns inside the circles.
    • Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes until fully set.

    Step 6: Assemble the Dessert

    • Add fresh berries and cherries on top of the flummery layer in each glass.
    • Spoon the whipped cream over the fruit.
    • Carefully place the white chocolate lace on top of the glasses.

    Serving Instructions

    • Serve and enjoy, or store in the fridge until ready to serve. You can prepare the dessert a day ahead. You can also make it in 4 small dessert glasses.
