My first attempt using raspberry jelly didnt set
I used tropical flavoured jelly for the second attempt
Melrose cream is one of those “why is this a thing?” recipes. It’s a custard/jelly dessert which when made has a watered down milk kind of taste. My first attempt was a disaster. I followed the directions to the letter but for some reason it just didn’t set.
The moulded dessert looks quite pretty
The next day, not wanting to be beaten by such a simple recipe, I tried the recipe again but I used ¼ cup less water and it was a success. The dessert is moulded so the finished product looks kind of pretty but the dessert is not my cup of tea to be honest. It’s not horrible it’s just meh. Not awful but not amazing either. I probably won’t make it again but there is nothing wrong with the recipe. It is what it is.
