Description

Ahmed Lychee Jelly: A Fragrant Jelly Dessert You Can Make at Home

Delicate and lightly floral, lychee brings a fragrant, softly sweet character that stands out from everyday fruit jellies. Made by Ahmed Foods, it is a make-at-home jelly dessert that you dissolve in hot water and set in the fridge. This case holds 12 x 70g sachets, meaning 12 individual packs, each making roughly 1 pint (about 570ml) of finished jelly, which suits foodservice kitchens and busy households alike.

Key Features

• Instant set jelly crystals in a lychee flavour, ready to dissolve in hot water and chill.
• Case of 12 x 70g sachets, each making roughly one pint, about 570ml, of made jelly.
• Set with carrageenan, a plant-based gelling agent, so no gelatine is used.
• Commonly labelled halal and suitable for vegetarians, which should be confirmed on each pack.
• Handy for jelly pots, trifles, layered desserts and jelly with ice cream.

How to Use 

Tip the crystals into a heatproof bowl and add about half a pint, roughly 285ml, of boiling water. Stir until the crystals have fully dissolved, then mix in a similar amount of cold water. Pour into moulds, pots or a serving dish and chill in the fridge until firmly set, usually a few hours. Water quantities can differ by pack, so follow the directions on the sachet.

Storage 

Keep the unopened sachets somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Once prepared, cover the jelly, keep it refrigerated and enjoy within a day or two.

Allergens: These crystals are made without gelatine and usually carry no major allergen declarations, though some varieties contain colours that may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children. For full allergen and dietary information, always refer to the product packaging.
