Ingredients
- Sugar cookies 250 g
- Butter 70 g
For the cream
- Cream cheese 250 g
- Butter 80 g
- Condensed milk 120 g
- Vanilla sugar to taste
For the jelly
- Orange juice 400 ml
- Powdered gelatin 2 tsp
- Water 50 ml
Directions
Step 1

Take the butter for the cream out of the refrigerator in advance. It should warm up and become soft. Prepare dessert glasses, an ice cube tray with round cavities, a blender, and a small saucepan.
Step 2

Place the cookies in the blender bowl and process into crumbs. Melt the butter for the base in the microwave in short 10-second pulses.
TipIf you don't have a blender on hand, place the cookies in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 3

Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Distribute 2–3 tbsp of the mixture into each dessert glass, lightly press down with a spoon, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
Step 4

Combine the cream cheese, soft butter, and condensed milk in a bowl. Add vanilla sugar and mix until smooth. Distribute the cream into the dessert glasses using a tablespoon or a piping bag.
Step 5

Pour water over the gelatin and let it swell. Warm the orange juice in a saucepan over medium heat – it should be warm, but not hot.
Step 6

Add the swollen gelatin and mix the mixture thoroughly until smooth. Pour the juice into the ice cube tray and place in the freezer for 30–40 minutes. Then carefully remove the jelly.
TipTo make the jelly easier to remove from the mold, dip its bottom in hot water for a couple of seconds.
Step 7

Garnish the dessert with citrus jelly just before serving.
