Solid Cream

This dessert can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead. Cover the filled jelly glasses tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The texture will continue to firm slightly as it chills. Do not make more than 6 hours ahead, as the acid will continue to act on the cream proteins and may cause the mixture to separate or become grainy.

Store covered tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The dessert does not freeze well due to the delicate protein structure. If the mixture appears slightly separated after storage, gently stir before serving. Best consumed within 12 hours for optimal texture and flavor.
