Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder A protein-rich thickener that gives the dessert its body and helps it set.
  • 3/4 cup hot water Used to dissolve the gelatin completely for a smooth texture.
  • 1/4 cup cold water or chilled tea To cool the mixture and help the gelatin bloom and set properly.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons protein powder To boost protein content if your plan allows it; use an easily digestible powder you tolerate well.
  • 1 teaspoon zero-calorie sweetener or small amount of sugar To add a little sweetness without large volumes of liquid.
  • Natural flavoring (e.g., vanilla extract, citrus zest, or cocoa) To give pleasant aroma and taste without extra bulk.
