Suitable for vegetarians and vegans — there is no colouring in this one at all. Worth knowing if you are choosing between this and the red Tortenguss, which is coloured with carmine and is not.

Mix the sachet with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water or fruit juice, bring to the boil for one minute, then let it cool 2–5 minutes until it just begins to thicken before spooning it over the fruit. If it sets too soon, warm it gently and it will loosen again. To stop the base going soggy, dust it with Dr. Oetker Whip it before you lay the fruit on.
