“Jelly Hearts”
My friend discovered those cute little jelly hearts from a local blog and she wanted to try them. They are sold at $16 per box of 20 pieces. They can only be ordered. I ate two yesterday and they are yummy! The bottom layer is digestive biscuit, the middle layer is cheese cake and the top layer is jelly.
Here’s the recipe
Ingredients
Base
- 200g digestive biscuits
- 80g butter
Fillings
- 8oz cream cheese
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tsp gelatine
- ½ cup hot water
- ½ tsp vanilla essence
- One punnet of strawberry (hulled and cut into halves)
Topping
- 1 packet of Jello
- 300g water
- 2 tsp gelatine
Method
Processed biscuits till fine crumb in a food processor. Melt butter and mix well. Pressed the crumbs mixture into a pan and chilled till harden.
Boil the water for the topping. Turn off heat and add jello and 2 tsp gelatine. Stir till everything dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Melt sugar with hot water and then soak gelatine till soften.
Cream the cheese till creamy. Add gelatine solution to it. Cream well.
Pour cheese mixture into prepared pan and add strawberry. Arrange neatly. Set in the fridge.
Pour the cooled jello onto cheese and let in the fridge till firm.
Cut into small square pieces and serve cold.

@Angele: Yeh maybe you can try to make these one day :) There’s an online recipe. I’ll look for it and let you know hhehe. Oh but you’ll need to replace the cheese cake with something else as Lash won’t eat lol:D

@Lash: Have you tried the lighter / fake version of cheese cakes? They aren’t bad. Don’t really take cheesy hhee. I prefer the light ones. The cheese cake from the jellyhearts are light ones — can’t really tell that it’s cheese cake.

I left a comment some time ago abt the first time I tried out the jelly heart’s recipe but I think the comment didn’t go through.Hahaha well here’s another comment from me!
I followed this recipe:
http://preciousmoments66.blogspot.com/2006/11/christmas-comes-early-for-us.html
I changed it a little bit though.Instead of 200g digestive biscuits I used 400g because the pan I took was a bigger one than the initial 9 inch x 9 inch pan.
And you know wat?I used custard like I told you instead of cream cheese.And definitely the custard goes very well with the jello and biscuits!I think it’s a good alternative to cream cheese :P
I wanted to post some photos but they turned out to be blur -__- I’ll try the jelly hearts again some other day and hopefully I’ll get better pictures!
You should try the above recipe I gave you.It’s very easy to do and it’s yummy :D

Hi,
I live in Perth, Western Australia… However, my parents are still in Sgp. Is there a website or contact number for me to get in touch with them so I can order some for my parents on their birthdays? Thanks…

Do the jelly hearts melt easily? If so, how am I supposed to maintain it in that good firm shape if I want to bring them out for my friends to try out too? thanksssssssssssssssssss!

Hi! (;
I tried making the jelly hearts! However, it melted bfore I could taste them because I placed them in my kitchen cupboard for approx. 10 min ))): Do you know what’s the reason??

Oh.. Thank you for this.. I have been trying to find the steps for having the jello on top of a dessert.. My Mom used to do a summer dessert with a white cake, lemon jello set on top, with a beautiful arrangement of fresh fruit! looked awesome and oh so good and summery!
To Lash.. who doesn’t like cheesecake..here is an idea for you

Dear Ms Carine Olivia
Hello!
Thank you for your blog and for the posting “Jelly Hearts”.
I did a search for “strawberry jellyhearts cheesecake recipe” on Yahoo!Singapore and clicked on the search result “La vie est belle >> Blog Archive >> “Jelly Hearts”" which led to your posting and the recipe for “Jelly Hearts” you have been so kind to share.
I wish to let you know that I bake every now and then and I have copied down the recipe and intend to try it out.
As my Auntie Elsie had extended an invitation to have lunch at her place next Saturday, November 26th 2011, as a gesture of kindness, assuming that the “Jelly Hearts” turn out perfectly, I will bring the “Jelly Hearts” to her place to share with my family and relatives.
Thank you also to everyone for the “20 RESPONSES TO “JELLY HEARTS”".
I sincerely apologise if I may have said or done anything or omitted to have said or done anything which may have caused offence, distrubance or inconvenience to you or anyone else which was and is not my intention ever.
