Rainbow foam

Rainbow Foam

Posted on by

Rainbow foam is a dramatic and fun way to serve jelly (jell-o) as a dessert on special occasions.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, Christmas or relaxing on a balcony watching the mardi-gras parade go by, it’s a really fun dessert treat.

Ingredients

5 or more 3oz/85gm packets of flavoured gelatine (jell-o) in different colours and flavours

Method

Mix each of your jellies/jellos but use 1/4 cup less than the instructions call for.

Put them in the fridge until they are half set. You can mix all the jellies at once but leave the ones you don’t need straight away out of the fridge so they don’t completely set until you need them).

Take the first colour and whisk until frothy. Pour into a mould or glass and set completely in the fridge.

Add the other colours, one at a time in the same way.

Cheese Spread

Two of the great things about making your own cheese spreads is that you can use lactose free dairy products for a totally lactose free spread, and you can flavour it any way you like.

Ingredients

2 cups of hard cheese – use lactose free cheese for a lactose free spread

2 eggs

salt, pepper and mustard to taste

2 tablespoons of milk – use lactose free milk for a lactose free spread

2 tablespoons of butter (optional) or dairy free margarine

Makes enough spread for 14-16 slices of toast/sandwiches

 Method

Mix everything together in the top of a double boiler and stir over a medium heat.

If you’re going to use it straight away cook it until it’s as thick as you want but still spreadable.

If you’re going to store it in the fridge, cook it until it’s about as thick as thick or double cream as it will set firmer in the fridge.

To serve, spread on toast, crackers or crusty bread.
