Jelly (Jello) Jollies
- 60 g butter, softened
- 12 cup caster sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 23 cup milk
- 85 g raspberry gelatin powder (jello)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 cups desiccated coconut
- Pre-heat oven to 180C, (350 F).
- Grease 12 x 2 Tablespoon patty pan tray or set out 12 paper patty pan cases onto a baking paper line baking tray.
- (I use 3 or 4 paper patty pans stacked in side each other for stronger cases).
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
- Add the beaten egg a little at a time continuing to beat until mixture well combined.
- Using a large metal spoon gently fold in half the flour and half the milk.
- Repeat with remaining flour and milk.
- Spoon mixture evenly into each patty pan case and bake for approx 15 - 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool on wire rack.
- Stir Jelly and boiling water until crystals have dissolved.
- Stir in cold water and refrigerate for 1 hour or until cold and slightly thick.
- Place coconut into a large bowl.
- Using a slotted spoon dunk each cake one at a time into the jelly.
- Drain excess jelly and toss in coconut till well coated.
- Place onto a line tray and pop in the fridge for about 30 minutes or till set.
- These little cakes keep for up to a week and stay moist as the jelly traps air from drying them out.
