• It looks great jelly in several layers, you can safely create your own desserts. You just need to mix the kefir with sugar and gelatin, divide the mass into several parts and change each one, mixing with various additives. Then put each mass in a thin layer on each other, remembering to give the lower layer a little to harden.
