Lychee Jelly is a dessert food that was first recorded by “Hanna Glasse” in her cookbook “The Art of Cookery” in the 18th Century. It’s also included as the featured recipe in the cookbooks of English food writers Eliza Acton and Isabella Beeton in the 19th Century. It’s a dessert made by sweetening and flavoring Gelatin with other ingredients or by using flavored Gelatin. Jellies can be sold in many forms from decorative shapes to simple cups.
You can make a lot of variations by flavoring Gelatin with your favorite ingredients including fruit chunks, chocolate chunks, and fruit extracts. In Lychee Jelly, the Gelatin is flavored with Lychee chunks and lychee syrup and sweetened with the Chinese rock sugar. You can give the Jelly any desired shape by using molds and it can be dressed in wiped cream to enhance looks and flavor.
