Ingredients
Scale
Core Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons gelatin powder (unflavored)
- 2 cups fruit juice (strawberry, raspberry, or mixed berries)
- 1/4 cup sweetener (simple syrup, honey, or agave, adjust to taste)
- 1 cup chilled water or sparkling water
- Fresh fruit pieces (optional, for garnish and texture)
- 1/2 cup milk or coconut milk (optional, for creamy versions)
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of cold water or fruit juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes swollen and gelatinous to ensure a smooth texture.
- Prepare the Liquid Base: Warm 2 cups of fruit juice gently in a saucepan (avoid boiling) and dissolve any sweetener of your choice into the warm juice.
- Combine and Stir: Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the warm juice and stir continuously until the gelatin fully dissolves, forming a silky consistency.
- Chill to Set: Pour the mixture into clear glasses or a container and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for 3-4 hours until gelatin is firm yet soft enough to sip or spoon.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the Pink Gelatin Drink with fresh fruit slices, mint leaves, or a splash of cream or milk if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality, unflavored gelatin powder for best texture and flavor control.
- Warm the juice gently; do not boil to preserve flavor and sweetness.
- Allow sufficient chilling time (3-4 hours) to set the gelatin properly without freezing.
- Adjust sweetness after dissolving gelatin and before chilling to avoid over-sweetening.
- Present in clear glasses to showcase the vibrant pink color and layers.
- Optional variations include adding tropical fruits, using dairy-free milk substitutes, incorporating sparkling water, or adding alcohol for an adult version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days. Avoid freezing.
