Knickerbocker Glory is a classic ice cream dessert served in a tall glass at English tea gardens and seaside cafés. Gelatin dessert cubes, fruit, fruit sauce, two flavors of ice cream, and whipped cream are layered in the glass. It is eaten with a long spoon, reaching down through the layers so each spoonful includes something different. In this recipe, the gelatin dessert is made with sour cherry juice and beef gelatin.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Bloom the gelatin

2 min

Sprinkle the powdered beef gelatin over 100 ml cold sour cherry juice and leave it without stirring; the gelatin will absorb the liquid and bloom.

2

Make the gelatin dessert

6 min

Heat the remaining 300 ml sour cherry juice until steaming, but do not let it boil. Remove it from the heat, add the bloomed gelatin, and stir until completely dissolved. Pour the liquid into a shallow dish to a depth of 2 cm and refrigerate.

3

Prepare the sauce and fruit

8 min

Blend the raspberries with the powdered sugar, then press them through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Keep four strawberries whole for garnish, hull the rest, and cut them into four pieces each. Peel and dice the peaches.

4

Whip the cream

5 min

Whip the cold cream with the powdered sugar until it is stiff enough to hold its shape when piped. Refrigerate it until ready to use.

5

Cut the set gelatin into cubes

3 min

Cut the set gelatin into 2 cm cubes in its dish. Wet the knife before each cut to keep the gelatin from sticking.

6

Layer the ingredients in the glasses

10 min

Put the gelatin dessert cubes in the bottom of four chilled tall glasses. Add one layer of fruit and one spoonful of raspberry sauce, then one scoop of vanilla ice cream. Add another layer of fruit and sauce, followed by one scoop of strawberry ice cream. Pipe the whipped cream on top, sprinkle with hazelnuts, place one whole strawberry on each, and serve immediately with a long spoon.

Reminder

Chill the gelatin dessert in the refrigerator until fully set before assembling the glasses. Chill the glasses too, or the layers will run together when you add the ice cream.

Jöleyi küp kesip bardağa katmak katmanların birbirine karışmasını önlüyor, sıvı jöle dökünce dondurma eriyip her şey tek renge dönüyor.
