Coca-Cola jelly
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Buy Coca-Cola and try to release the carbon dioxide from the drink to minimize foam. Choose a high-quality, not too cheap gelatin to avoid a bitter aftertaste in the jelly. The dessert will take 3–4 hours to set, but it's better to prepare it in the evening and leave it overnight in the refrigerator. Decorate the jelly to your taste and involve children in the decoration process. Serve chilled.

Step 3
Pour boiling water into the container and immediately mix everything with a whisk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes so the gelatin granules can swell, then mix again until the granules are completely dissolved. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the container with the whisk—this is where the gelatin may have settled.

Step 4
After that, carefully pour the cola into the container—foam will form anyway, but it will be less if you release the gas from the drink beforehand. Thoroughly mix all the contents of the container with a whisk. Remove the foam with a tablespoon or ladle—it won't be needed.
