Best 2 White Gelatin Recipes

White gelatin, or colorless gelatin, is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of culinary applications, both sweet and savory. It is made from the collagen of animals, typically pigs or cows, and is available in a powdered or sheet form. When mixed with cold water, it absorbs and swells, creating a semi-solid gel that can be used to thicken sauces, soups, and desserts. White gelatin is also used as a stabilizer in foods such as marshmallows, puddings, and ice cream. When choosing a recipe for white gelatin, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Categories Fruit Dessert Freeze/Chill

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3/4 to a full bottle of your favorite dry white wine (a previously opened bottle would be fine)
zest of one lemon or half an orange, 1/2 teaspoon reserved
seeds of one vanilla bean
3/4 cup sugar, or to taste
3 peaches--preferably freestone--halved and pitted but with the skins ON
1 envelope of unflavored gelatin
1 cup of frozen berries, thawed
whipped cream, optional
mint sprigs optional

Steps:

In a saucepan combine the wine, 3/4 of the lemon zest, and the seeds of the vanilla bean and bring to a slow simmer. Add the peach halves and return to a simmer, covered for 3-5 minutes, depending on the firmness of the peaches. When done, the peaches should easily be pierced with a sharp knife. Allow the peaches to cool slightly in the wine mixture until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Remove the peach skins and discard. Cut the peach halves as you desire, into quarters, slices, or chunks and divide among six small glass bowls or custard cups. Strain the wine mixture (use a coffee filter if you want a really clear gelatin) and then whisk in the gelatin crystals until completely dissolved. Pour the gelatin mixture over the fruit and place the dishes in the refrigerator for up to two hours or until the gelatin has set. To serve, mix the reserved lemon zest with the berries and divide the berry mixture among the six desserts. If desired, garnish with a spoonful of whipped cream and a sprig of mint.

Tips:

To achieve a smooth and lump-free gelatin mixture, whisk the gelatin powder into a small amount of cold water until it forms a paste. Then, gradually whisk in the hot liquid until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
For a firmer gelatin, use more gelatin powder. For a softer gelatin, use less gelatin powder.
To speed up the setting time of the gelatin, place it in the refrigerator or freezer for a short period of time before using.
To prevent the gelatin from sticking to the mold, lightly grease the mold with oil or cooking spray before pouring in the gelatin mixture.
To create a layered gelatin dessert, pour the first layer into the mold and allow it to set completely before pouring the next layer.
To add flavor to the gelatin, use fruit juices, extracts, or spices.
To create a colorful gelatin dessert, use different colored gelatin powders or food coloring.
To garnish the gelatin dessert, use fresh fruits, berries, or whipped cream.
