Shattered Glass Jelly
Description
You can make berry or fruit jelly using fresh or frozen berries, or simply buy a store-bought jelly mix with various flavors. To make the dessert more visually appealing when sliced, use jelly of different colors and flavors. The sour cream should be fresh and not too sour. Use the amount of gelatin according to your preference, following the instructions on the package. Take the sour cream out of the refrigerator in advance so it reaches room temperature, as gelatin will set immediately in a cold environment.

Place each type of dry jelly into a separate cup, pour in hot water while stirring, and mix until the crystals dissolve completely. Let the liquids cool completely, then place them in the refrigerator until the jelly sets fully. This took me 4 hours. I used half a package of jelly and the corresponding amount of water according to the instructions. You may need more or less, depending on your jelly.
