Perfect for a hot, humid day, this refreshing two-layer dessert combines the gentle sweetness of peaches with the fizzy sensation of soda. It looks refreshing, too. Since it requires no cooking—just crumble the jelly and pour in the soda—you can whip it up in no time, even when you’re feeling tired.
Ingredients
| Peaches (canned or fresh, in season) | 1 can (or 1 large one) | If using fresh peaches, peel them before using. |
| Gelatin Powder | 5g | 1 bag |

How to Make It
[Step 1]: Place hot water and powdered gelatin in a heat-resistant bowl, and stir with a spoon until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
[Step 2]: Cut the peach flesh into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl from Step 1. (If it’s not sweet enough, add a little sugar to taste.)
[Step 3]: Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 hours, until the jelly sets.
[Step 4]: Just before serving, take it out of the refrigerator and use a fork to roughly break up the jelly.
[Step 5]: Place the crumbled jelly in a glass, gently pour the soda over it, and it’s done.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
The most common mistake is that “the jelly won’t set.” This is usually caused by not stirring enough after adding the powdered gelatin, or by using water that’s too cool. To prevent this, be sure to use water that’s just come to a boil, and stir thoroughly for at least 30 seconds until the gelatin is no longer visible.Also, when pouring the soda, pouring it too vigorously will cause the foam to overflow, so the trick is to pour it slowly along the rim of the glass.
A Quick Tip for Making It Taste Great
To chill the jelly mixture, place the bowl in an ice bath—it will set in about 15 minutes. If you can’t wait to eat it, be sure to give this a try.
In Closing
The fizzy sound of the carbonation and the gentle sweetness of the peaches are sure to wash away your fatigue. If you top it with vanilla ice cream, it transforms into a slightly indulgent “cream soda-style” treat. Thanks for all your hard work today. Enjoy a relaxing evening with this cold dessert.
