Berry Jelly (Vegan)
This vegan & gluten-free berry jelly is a super simple dessert that tastes like summer in a glass. With just fruit juice, your favourite berries and a natural gelling agent like agar agar, you can create a colourful layered dessert that sets beautifully as it cools. Once chilled, top it with extra berries, a creamy plant-based sauce or a sprig of mint — perfect for family dinners or relaxed gatherings.

I love to add a splash of vanilla custard sauce (I will upload this recipe soon), a few berries and a mint leaf.
Enjoy! :)
