Ingredients

  • Agar-Agar: A seaweed-based gelatin that is vegan and sets firmly without refrigeration.
  • Pectin: A fruit-derived gelling agent perfect for jams, jellies, and dessert fillings.
  • Carrageenan: An extract from red seaweed, often used in dairy-free yogurts and sauces.
  • Cornstarch: A thickening agent that can be combined with the above for smoother textures.

Instructions

  1. Choose Your Base (Agar or Pectin): Depending on your recipe, select either agar-agar or pectin.
  2. Measure Your Liquid: Use 1 cup of fruit juice or water for every 1 tablespoon of agar or pectin. Warm the liquid slightly for better flavor.
  3. Dissolve the Agent: Sprinkle agar or pectin into your liquid and heat, stirring continually for about 2-3 minutes until dissolved.
  4. Cool Down Gradually: Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly to activate thickening.
  5. Mold Your Mixture: Pour the mixture into molds and add fruits or flavors as desired.
  6. Refrigerate: Place in the fridge for approximately 30 minutes to set.
  7. Serve and Savor: Remove gelatin from molds and enjoy.

Notes

For a low-calorie version, sweeten with stevia or monk fruit. Always measure ingredients accurately and allow cooling time for proper setting.
