Setting the jello on an angle is key to making this dessert look stunning! We do this by placing the dessert glass into a muffin tin and leaning it against a dish towel. Be sure to clear some room in the fridge in advance so you can transfer the tray easily. Once the jello is set and the custard has been added, finish with a delightful cherry and slice of lime on top.

Ingredients

• 3 Medium sweet potatoes
• 1 cup Shredded red cabbage
• 2 cups Corn
• 1 Green Onion

Firstly, in a small bowl, mix together the curry powder, oregano, garlic powder, chilli powder and salt/pepper.

Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil on med-high heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili powder.

Roughly chop the iceberg lettuce and place in a serving large bowl. Add the cabbage to the chopped lettuce, mix until blended.
