Dr. Jennifer Ashton Gelatin Recipe

A delicious and healthy gelatin recipe that promotes fullness and supports weight management.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 2 cups water (or sparkling water)
  • Sweetener (optional, e.g. honey or stevia)
  • Flavoring (optional, e.g. vanilla extract, fruit puree, or citrus juice)
  • Fruits (optional, such as berries or citrus)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect unflavored gelatin, water, and any flavorings or sweeteners you choose to use.
  2. Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gelatin over ¼ cup cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it absorbs the water and becomes sponge-like.
  3. Heat the Mixture: In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of water on medium until it’s warm, but not boiling.
  4. Dissolve the Gelatin: Once the water is warm, remove it from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir continuously until completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flavor It Up: Mix in any sweeteners or flavorings, continuing to stir until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour into Molds: Transfer the mixture into molds or a baking dish and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Refrigerate: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until set.

Notes

For a creamier version, substitute water with unsweetened almond milk. Customize with various flavorings and fruits for diversity.
