❓ FAQs
Q: Can I make the jelly with added fruit inside?
A: Yes! Just stir in berries or fruit chunks once the jelly starts to cool but before it sets fully.
Q: Does it have to be jelly from sachets?
A: Nope — ready-made sugar-free jelly pots are a great time-saver and usually 0.5 to 1 syn each.
Q: Can I skip the cream or sprinkles?
A: Absolutely. Just the jelly and fruit can be as low as 0.5–1.5 syns per serving.
