Quick and easy recipe for orange jelly (or orange jello) served in orange skin cups with sliced strawberries. Healthy, low-calorie, refreshing dessert for summer!
Ingredients
- 120 ml hot water (4 fluid oz.)
- 10 g gelatin powder (0.3 oz.)
- 350 ml orange juice freshly squeezed, pulp-free (1.5 cups)
- 4 large strawberries thinly sliced
- 4 oranges cut in halves
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in hot water (I used almost boiling water).
- Add orange juice and whisk through.
- Cut oranges in halves. Using a small knife, cut out the flesh carefully without cutting through the skin. You can use your fingers or a spoon to help. Discard the fruit flesh or use it for juicing. Slice a thin layer off the bottom of the orange halves to make them stand flat on a tray.
- Place 3-4 slices of strawberries in the orange halves and fill with the orange jelly mix. Place the plate with oranges in the fridge, and once the jelly firms up, cover it with Gladwrap. The jelly will set in about 5 hours. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Notes
You can squeeze and strain your own orange juice or get good quality freshly squeezed orange juice from the store. Feel free to use other berries instead of strawberries to achieve a similar visual effect.
