Ingredients

Main Ingredients

7 grams Flavored gelatin powder (strawberry or raspberry suggested) Provides the pink color, sweet fruit flavor, and sets into the classic gelatin texture.
1/2 cup Hot water Used to dissolve the gelatin powder fully so the mixture turns clear and smooth.
1.5 cups Cold water Dilutes the gel and helps it set; added after dissolving the powder to cool the mixture.

Optional Ingredients

Fresh or frozen berries Adds texture, natural sweetness, and a boost of vitamins; use berries that match the flavor.
Plain collagen or unflavored protein powder An easy way to add protein and a little extra body to the gelatin without changing the flavor.
Sugar-free sweetener Use if you want extra sweetness without added sugar or calories.
Low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese A creamy topping that adds protein and balances sweetness with tang.

Notes

Use a clear bowl to see when the gelatin fully dissolves. If you want firmer gelatin, chill a little longer. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
