Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the gelatin
Dissolve 2 packages of lemon gelatin in 3 cups of hot water (slightly less than what’s listed on the package). Let it cool until it begins to thicken slightly.
Step 2: Make the first layer
Line the bottom of your pan or dish with an even layer of tea biscuits, covering the base completely.
Step 3: Cook the vanilla cream
Heat 500 ml (2 cups) of milk with butter and sugar in a saucepan. In the remaining 250 ml (1 cup) of milk, whisk in the pudding powder. Pour into the hot milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Spread the hot pudding evenly over the biscuits, then cover with another layer of biscuits. Allow to cool completely.
Step 4: Add the gelatin layer
Once the gelatin has thickened but is still pourable, spread it over the top biscuit layer. Refrigerate until completely set.
