Faq
- How do I ensure my gelatin sets properly?
Make sure to let the gelatin bloom fully in cold water before heating it. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
- Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen berries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before adding. This will prevent excess water from diluting the jelly.
- What is the best way to unmold the jelly?
Dip the mold briefly in warm water for about 15-20 seconds. This will loosen the jelly, making it easier to remove.
- Can I add different flavors to the jelly?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fruit juices or extracts to add a variety of flavors.
- How far in advance can I make this dessert?
You can prepare the jelly 1-2 days in advance. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Is there a way to make the transparent jelly layer clearer?
Use filtered water and avoid stirring too vigorously to keep the jelly clear. Also, cool the mixture completely before pouring it over the first layer.
