Description

A simple and versatile technique to create a low-calorie gelatin snack that helps curb hunger.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon (910 g) unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water per cup of final liquid
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) flavored liquid (fruit juice, broth, water, etc.)
  • Sweetener or flavoring (vanilla, lemon zest, or honey)

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm your chosen liquid to 110-130°F (43-54°C).
  3. Stir the warm liquid into the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  4. Add any sweetener or flavoring, then pour into molds or a shallow pan.
