Instructions:
1. Prepare the Biscuit Base:
- Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch round or square dish to create an even base. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set.
2. Make the Cream Layer:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Spread the cream layer evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Return to the refrigerator to set while preparing the jelly.
3. Prepare the Jelly Layer:
- Dissolve the jelly mix in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of cold water to the jelly mixture and stir. Allow it to cool to room temperature (but not set).
- Once the jelly has cooled, pour it gently over the cream layer in the dish. Use a spoon to diffuse the pour and prevent disrupting the cream layer.
4. Chill and Set:
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, garnish with fresh fruit, dollops of whipped cream, or a few mint leaves for an elegant touch. Slice into squares or wedges and serve chilled.
Tips for Success:
- Layer Stability: Ensure the cream layer is fully set before pouring the jelly to avoid mixing layers.
- Jelly Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different jelly flavors to suit your taste or complement seasonal fruits.
