🍨 Variations

✨ Creamy Gelatin (Mousse-style):

• Replace the cold water with 1 cup of cold evaporated milk, cream, or sweetened condensed milk for a creamy texture.

🍓 Fruity Add-Ins:

• Add chopped fruit (strawberries, grapes, pineapple*, or mandarin oranges) once the gelatin is slightly thickened.

Note: Fresh pineapple, kiwi, and papaya contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from setting. Use canned or cooked versions instead.

🎨 Layered Gelatin:

• Make multiple flavors and let each layer set before adding the next for a rainbow effect.
