Gelatin, what an interesting concept! Break apart some collagen protein, mix with water and create a colloid. Not exactly solid, not exactly liquid...but a magical, jiggly substance. Add some flavoring and you get a flavorful dessert. Well, I've had soft jello for the achy tummy, finger jello for the outdoor picnic, but never have I had Jello Gummy Flowers. The texture is softer than gummy candy and the flavor is jello-magnificent. This latest cooking experiment by Chef Azuki and Little BeaN was a summer success! It's amazing how altering the amount of gelatin or changing the technique, alters the consistency of this wonderful colloid!
Jello Gummy Flowers
Ingredients:
3 oz. box of Lime Jello Powder
1/4 C of unflavored gelatin
1/3 C water
Petite jello molds
Directions:
1. Pour water in a pot and add the gelatin and jello powder
2. Heat on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes or
stir until the jello and gelatin are completely dissolved
3. Carefully pour the jello into a measuring cup
4. Pour into the petite flower jello molds
5. Put into the freezer for 10-15 minutes
And magically you have jello gummy flowers. Then, watch them magically disappear!
