Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Eggs
- 2 packs Fruit-flavored gelatin powder
- 500 ml Hot water
- 250 ml Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the eggshells: Carefully use a knife or the back of a spoon to crack a small hole at the top of each egg (about the size of a coin). Pour out the eggs and save them for another recipe.
Rinse out the inside of the eggshells thoroughly with warm water. Let them dry completely before use.
Using a small amount of vegetable oil, lightly grease the inside of each eggshell to prevent the jelly from sticking. Set the prepared shells aside in an egg carton or small cups to keep them upright.
In a heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the fruit-flavored gelatin powder in 500 ml of hot water by stirring until completely dissolved.
Add 250 ml of cold water to the mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture reach room temperature before proceeding to avoid cracking the shells.
Carefully pour the liquid gelatin mixture into each prepared eggshell, filling them almost to the top. Use a small funnel or measuring jug for precision.
Place the filled eggshells in a steamer basket. Cover the steamer with a lid and steam on low heat for 10 minutes to set the outer layer of the jelly. This helps the jelly take the egg shape while retaining a slightly firmer exterior.
After steaming, allow the eggs to cool completely, then refrigerate them for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set the jelly.
Once the jelly is firm, gently peel off the eggshells to reveal smooth, egg-shaped jelly. Serve cold and enjoy!
