CATHEDRAL WINDOW DESSERT

When you go to the church, you often see the children very fond of the colorful glass windows. These are what they call “cathedral windows”. This is where the concept of cathedral cakes come from.

Cathedral cakes are jelly-based cakes which are white in color with some colorful jelly cubes submerged in it. The colors used were often yellow, red, and green, which are the usual colors of actual cathedral windows. The main concept used in this cake is that a white jelly is used as the cake base and then jelly cubes of different color/s are submerged in it. With its looks, some people also call these cakes “broken glass” cakes.

HOW TO COOK CATHEDRAL WINDOW DESSERT

Making cathedral window dessert is just as easy as other jelly recipes. If you have tried other jelly recipes in the past, preparations for this dessert will be too easy for you.

Basically, this dessert is made with pure jelly. To start, we need to create an unflavored jelly mixture which we will divide into three portions. These three portions will be colored using food colors. You can use whatever color you like but the usual ones are red, yellow and green. Just remember to add their colors once transferred to the containers. You cannot add the food colorings when they are firm already. When firm, cut these colored jellies into cubes. This is the easiest shape to copy the “windows” look.

Congratulations in advance since you’re already done with half of the recipe. The next thing to do is to create a creamy jelly base. This base will be the one to hold the colored jelly cubes. Remember that you must finish the dessert before this creamy jelly becomes firm.

When your cream is ready, simply put the creamy jelly and the colored jelly cubes alternatively on the molder. For this recipe, I really recommend a deep/high molder. But if you have no deep molder, a llanera can still do the work (only that your “window” is pandak HAHAHA).

The last step to do is to chill this colorful dessert before serving. Yum!
