Jelly, raspberries, and skyr are not just tasty ingredients; they also offer numerous health benefits. Jelly is rich in collagen, which supports the health of joints, skin, hair, and nails. Raspberries are a true treasure trove of vitamins and antioxidants. They are high in vitamin C, which enhances the immune system, and fibre, which aids digestion. Their intense flavour and aroma perfectly complement the other dessert ingredients. Skyr, originating from Iceland, is a dairy product known for its high protein and low fat content. It's an excellent source of calcium, essential for healthy bones and teeth.

How to prepare a dessert with jelly and skyr?

To create a quick and fluffy dessert with jelly, you'll need a few basic ingredients, likely already in your kitchen. Here's a list of essentials:

Ingredients:

            
  • 1 pint of Greek yoghurt or skyr,
  • 2 packets of raspberry jelly,
  • 1 pint of hot water,
  • 7 ounces of fresh raspberries,
  • 4 ounces of chocolate for topping (optional).

If you'd like to enhance the dessert's flavour, consider adding other fresh fruits, such as blueberries or strawberries. They will not only improve the taste but also the presentation of the dessert.

Preparation

Preparing this dessert is extremely easy and quick. Just follow these steps to enjoy a delicious and light treat:

            
  1. Dissolve the jelly: In 1 pint of hot water, thoroughly mix the jelly. Remember not to follow the packet instructions. Set aside to cool.
  2. Combine the ingredients: Transfer the Greek yoghurt into a bowl or blender pitcher. Add the cooled, but still liquid, jelly. Blend until you achieve a uniform consistency.
  3. Add the raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries to distribute them evenly.
  4. Cooling: Pour the liquid dessert into moulds and place in the fridge. The mousse should set in about two hours.
  5. Prepare the chocolate topping: Melt the chocolate in a water bath, then drizzle it over the dessert before serving.

Following these simple steps, you can quickly prepare a dessert that will impress everyone. Remember, the key to success is properly cooling the jelly before mixing it with the yoghurt and adding fresh raspberries and a chocolate topping to enhance the dessert's flavour and appearance.
