Ingredients
1 box pineapple-flavored jelly
2 boxes strawberry-flavored jelly
2 cups boiling water
2 cups chilled Cola
1 can light table cream (drained)
2 boxes strawberry-flavored jelly
2 cups boiling water
2 cups chilled Cola
1 can light table cream (drained)
Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in major supermarkets. Look for the jelly mixes in the baking or dessert aisle; note that these are standard gelatin desserts widely available. 'Table cream' (creme de leite) is usually found in the canned milk or international food section; if you cannot find it, chilled heavy cream is an acceptable substitute for the texture, though the standard light version works best. Cola can be found in any beverage aisle. Look for specialty 'Latin' or 'Brazilian' sections in local grocery stores if you want to find specific brands often used in these recipes, though generic versions work perfectly fine.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the pineapple jelly in 1 cup of boiling water and set it aside
- Dissolve both boxes of strawberry jelly together in 1 cup of boiling water and set aside
- Add the light table cream, the dissolved pineapple jelly, and the chilled Cola to a blender
- Blend all the ingredients well until you have a smooth, homogeneous mixture
- Pour the mixture into a mold (rinsed beforehand in cold water to make unmolding easier) or into individual dessert glasses
- Chill in the fridge for approximately 3 hours, or until firmly set
- Unmold carefully if using a large mold, and garnish to your liking before serving
