Ingredients
1.5 tablespoons Knox unflavored gelatin (about 1.5 envelopes) 1 cup cold juice or water 1 cup boiling water Sweetener to taste (optional) 1 small packet Kool-Aid (optional for flavor)Instructions
- Bloom: Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold liquid and let it sit for 5 minutes until thick and spongy.
- Dissolve: Pour in boiling water and stir slowly until the gelatin fully dissolves and becomes smooth.
- Flavor: Add sweetener or Kool-Aid if desired and mix well.
- Set: Pour into a dish or mold and refrigerate for 3–4 hours until firm.
- Serve: Cut into cubes or scoop gently and serve chilled.
Notes
Always bloom gelatin before adding hot liquid for best texture. Avoid raw pineapple, kiwi, mango, papaya, or figs as they prevent gelatin from setting. Adjust firmness by changing the gelatin-to-liquid ratio. Use 100% fruit juice for a cleaner, naturally sweet flavor.Nutrition
