Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz flavored gelatin (your choice of flavor)
  • 1 oz unflavored gelati
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • Sweetener (optional, such as honey or maple syrup)

Method
 

  1. Prepare your pan by lightly greasing a 9x13 inch rectangular baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  3. In a separate large bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water by whisking continuously until smooth.
  4. Combine half of the bloomed unflavored gelatin into the flavored mixture and stir until fully combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and chill for 15-20 minutes until sticky but firm.
  6. Repeat for additional layers if desired, ensuring each previous layer is firm enough to support the next.
  7. After all layers have been added, cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Once set, use a sharp knife or cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes and serve.

Notes

Ensure to use truly boiling water to guarantee proper dissolution of gelatin. Allow sufficient time for layers to set properly.
