No reviews

A simple, customizable gelatin trick recipe that transforms unflavored gelatin into a delicious wellness treat supporting joints, skin, gut health, and better sleep.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder

1/2 cup cool water, juice, or tea

1 1/2 cups hot (not boiling) water, juice, or tea

12 tablespoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia), optional

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or other natural flavoring, optional

Instructions

1. Pour the cool liquid into a bowl or measuring cup and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to bloom.

2. Once the gelatin has absorbed the liquid and become rubbery, gently pour the hot liquid over it.

3. Stir slowly until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

4. Add sweetener and flavorings if using, stirring well to combine.

5. Pour the mixture into a glass dish, ramekins, or silicone molds.

6. Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, or until fully set.

7. Cut into squares or remove from molds and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Always bloom gelatin in cool liquid to avoid clumps. Do not use boiling water, as it weakens the gelatin. Use unflavored gelatin only—sweetened Jell-O mixes are not suitable. Customize with teas, juices, fruit, or spices for variety.
