Description
Powdered Gelatin:
- This is the most common form and comes in packets or bulk.
- How to Use: Typically, powdered gelatin is sprinkled over cold water to “bloom,” which softens and hydrates the gelatin before it’s dissolved in hot liquid to activate its gelling properties.
Common Uses of Gelatin:
- Jelly/Jell-O: Gelatin is the key ingredient in gelatin desserts like Jell-O, creating a firm, wobbly texture that is fun to eat.
- Mousse and Puddings: Used to give a mousse or pudding structure and hold its shape without the need for baking.
- Gummy Candies: Gelatin is the basis for chewy, gummy candies, giving them their signature elasticity and texture.
- Marshmallows: Gelatin is used to give marshmallows their soft and bouncy texture.
- Glazes and Toppings: Gelatin is often used in fruit glazes for cakes and tarts to give them a shiny, smooth finish that holds up over time.
- Gels in Cakes or Pastries: It helps stabilize whipped cream or frosting and sets layers in some baked goods.
