Preparation

Step 1

Mix gelatin powder and boiling water until the powder completely dissolves, about 2 minutes. Purée the canned fruit in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.

Mix with gelatin and divide between 18 (2-ounce) test tubes; fill each test tube about half way. Refrigerate until firm.

Heat the grape juice in a sauce pan until simmering. Stir in the hot-chocolate mix until it dissolves; refrigerate.

To serve: Fill the test tubes with the grape-juice mixture. Poke a skewer down the sides of the test tube into the gelatin so that the grape-juice mixture flows down creating dark stripes through the orange gelatin.

Note: For adults; in place of the grape-juice mixture you may substitute with 2 1/4 cups sparkling wine.
