To make the base of the treat, break the shortbread cookies into small crumbs with your hands, then mix them with the rest of the butter and put them on the bottom of the dish. Put them in the fridge for ten to fifteen minutes. Take three different fruit jellies in powder, pour boiling water over each, mix well and form into separate shallow bowls.

Pour a small amount of not cold water over the instant gelatin and leave for ten minutes. When it swells, bring it to a boil in a double boiler, stirring constantly. Then gradually pour it into the yogurt. Put the resulting mixture on top of the cookies. You need to act very quickly, as the gelatin-yogurt mass sets quickly.
