Description
A fundamental technique to ensure perfectly smooth and stabilized gelatin for any dessert.
Ingredients
1 packet (7g) unflavored gelatin powder
1/4 cup cold water (for blooming)
1 cup hot liquid (juice, coffee, or milk)
2 tbsp honey or sweetener of choice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over 1/4 cup of cold water in a small heat-proof bowl.
Step 2: Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes a thick, spongy mass. This is the 'bloom'.
Step 3: Heat your 1 cup of base liquid in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
Step 4: Add the bloomed gelatin sponge to the hot liquid and whisk gently but thoroughly until no granules remain.
Step 5: Stir in your sweetener and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
Step 6: Pour into molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
