🍴 How to use
-
Soak the sheets: Place the gelatine sheets in cold water (or the liquid specified in the recipe) and leave them to soak for about 10 minutes.
-
Dissolve: Once swollen, squeeze out the excess water from the sheets and heat, stirring constantly – but do not boil – until the gelatine has completely dissolved.
-
Stir into the mixture: Add the lukewarm liquid with the dissolved gelatine to the cream or sauce and stir quickly.
-
Leave to set: Pour the prepared mixture into a mould and leave to cool so that the gelatine sets.
Tips:
-
When preparing desserts (e.g. layered jellies or mousses), it is important to allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the gelatine, so that it does not lose its gelling ability.
-
If gelatine is boiled, it loses its ability to set – so never boil it.
🧊 Storage
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
