Step-by-step
- For the vanilla kiisseli: mix all ingredients well in a pan before placing it on medium heat. Keep mixing well with a whisk and bring to boil. Let simmer for one minute until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool down.
- Make the blackcurrant `kiisseli' using the same method as for Vanilla `kiisseli'.
- Sprinkle some caster sugar on top to prevent it from forming a film on top while it is cooling down.
- Once both are cooled, spoon Vanilla `kiisseli' into 6 glasses dividing it equally. Spoon the Blackcurrant `kiisseli' on top and serve. You can make this dessert in advance up to 24 h hours.
