FAQs
Can I use flavored gelatin instead of unflavored?
It’s best to use pure unflavored gelatin to control the flavor and sugar content. Flavored gelatin often contains added sugars and artificial ingredients that may alter the recipe and its health benefits.
Is it necessary to let the gelatin bloom?
Yes, blooming gelatin in cold water before heating ensures it dissolves fully and creates a smooth texture without lumps.
