With a variety of flavors, colors, and molds, you can create hollow jelly, bubble jelly, cloud jelly, egg-shaped jelly, watermelon jelly, and more.

Ingredients for Birthday Cup Jelly

  • Melon-flavored jelly

  • Aloe vera-flavored jelly

  • Pomegranate-flavored jelly

  • Milk

  • Boiling water

Instructions for Making Multi-Layer Cup Jelly

  1. Prepare the Melon Layer:
    Pour half a packet of melon jelly into a bowl and add one cup of boiling water. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until the jelly crystals are completely dissolved. Pour the jelly into clear individual cups and refrigerate until partially set.

  2. Prepare the Aloe Vera Layer:
    Mix half a cup of aloe vera jelly with three-quarters of a cup of boiling water and place over simmering water, stirring until dissolved. Once slightly cooled, add five tablespoons of milk at room temperature and mix well. Pour the white layer over the set green melon layer in the cups and refrigerate until partially set.

  3. Prepare the Pomegranate Layer:
    Pour half a packet of pomegranate jelly into a bowl and add one cup of boiling water. Stir over simmering water until the jelly becomes clear. After cooling slightly, pour the red layer over the white layer in the cups. Refrigerate the cups until fully set.

  4. Final Touch:
    Once the jelly is fully set, garnish the top with chocolate or your preferred decoration.


This method produces colorful, layered cup jellies that are perfect for birthdays or festive gatherings. Each cup offers a visually appealing and delicious treat with a creamy, milky middle layer.
