Vasilikouda – Gluten & Dairy Free, Light Dessert

Yields15 Servings

Βασιλικούδα - Δροσερό, ελαφρύ και πανεύκολο γλυκό χωρίς γαλακτοκομικά, με υλικά έκπληξη που έχετε σχεδόν πάντα σπίτι.

 1 pack gluten-free toast rusks Schär’s Fette Biscottate
 2 packs/sachets of cherry or strawberry or pomegranate flavour, jelly
 8 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
 8 tbsp granulated sugar
 150 g cornflour
 2 tsp liquid vanilla
1

In a pan (approx. 23X32cm / 9”X13”), layer the toast rusks and since they are gluten-free so they are harder, break some slightly.

2

We follow the instructions on the box and make the packs/sachets of cherry jelly, but with all the water hot, to help toast rusks to absorbed it easily. (In Greece, its pack/sachet has 100gr of product and needs 2 cups of water, one hot and the other cold).

3

Pour it into the pan with toast rusks so to cover them all, and then place it in the fridge for 1 hour to stabilize the jelly.

4

Pour the orange juice, sugar, corn flour and vanilla into a saucepan and place it over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.

5

Then, once it has cooled down a bit (about 5-10 minutes), spread it on the pan on the top of the toast rusks with jelly that already cooled and thickened.

6

Place it back in the fridge so that the cream cools down and thickens. About 2-3 hours.
