For the Parfait Layers

  • 1 package Blue gel jelly In various shades

  • 1 cup Crushed graham crackers For a sandy effect

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Follow the package instructions to prepare the blue gel jelly and allow it to set in the refrigerator until firm.
  • Once the jelly has set, gently spoon in a layer of vanilla pudding or whipped cream on top. Aim for an even layer that mimics the seabed.
  • Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the pudding layer to represent the sandy bottom of your aquarium.
  • Gently place gummy fish or sea creatures on top of the cracker layer, ensuring they are well-distributed.
  • Carefully add another layer of blue jelly to top off your parfait, creating the illusion of water above the fish.
  • Lightly sprinkle edible shimmer dust on top for a magical touch, if desired.
  • Allow the parfaits to set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.

Serving

  • Provide spoons and enjoy your colorful Edible Aquarium Parfait!

Notes

You can swap pudding flavors for different variations, use different candies, or add fruit like blueberries or kiwi for a healthy twist. Make sure to use gluten-free graham crackers if needed.
