Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ounces gelatin mix (any flavor)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (optional)
  • whipped cream (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Bring one cup of water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan.
  2. Pour the gelatin powder into a large glass mixing bowl.
  3. Slowly pour the boiling water over the gelatin and whisk gently for at least two minutes until dissolved.
  4. Pour in one cup of very cold water and stir for another minute. If adding fruit, let mixture sit for ten minutes.
  5. Pour the mixture into glass cups or ramekins, leaving space for whipped cream.
  6. Refrigerate for at least four hours until set.
  7. Before serving, top each cup with whipped cream.

Notes

Use filtered water for better flavor n Avoid whisking too vigorously to keep the liquid clear n Do not use fresh pineapple, kiwi, or papaya as they prevent the gelatin from setting
