Makes: 6
Ingredients:
- 150g (5oz) Raspberries
- 100ml (3 ½ fl.oz) Berry juice drink
- 25g (1oz) Icing sugar
- 1 sachet Dr. Oetker Vege-Gel
- 125ml (4 ½ fl.oz) Whole milk

How To Make Superstar Jellies Method:
Guests of all ages love treats that add a little extra fun, and Superstar Jellies can become the sweet surprise everyone talks about long after the fireworks end.
Method:
- Arrange 6 x 150ml (1/4pt) heatproof clear beakers, tumblers or dessert dishes on a tray. Put the raspberries, berry juice and icing sugar in a blender or food processor and blitz for a few seconds until well blended. Push through a nylon sieve to remove the seeds.
- Pour 300ml (1/2pt) cold water into a bowl and sprinkle over the Vege-Gel powder. Stir until dissolved.
- Pour one third into a saucepan and heat through, stirring, until just boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the raspberry mixture. Divide equally between the beakers. Leave aside to cool – they will set quickly as it cools – then chill the jellies for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour the milk into a saucepan and add the Chocolate Chips and Vanilla Extract. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until hot and thoroughly melted. Remove from the heat and put to one side.
- Once the raspberry jelly has set, pour half the remaining Vege-Gel into a saucepan and heat as above. Mix into the Chocolate milk and then divide between the 6 beakers and leave to cool and chill as before.
- For the final layer, squeeze 40 drops Blue Gel Food colour into a jug and blend with a little of the grape juice until dissolved. Stir in the remaining juice.
- Once the Chocolate layer is set, repeat the preparation of the remaining Vege-Gel, and mix into the blue grape juice. Pour into the beakers and leave to cool. Chill the jellies for at least 1 hour before serving. Top with Chocolate Stars to decorate.
