Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch pan
- 1 Large mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Sharp knife for cutting squares
Ingredients
For the Gelatin Squares
- 2 box (3 oz each) flavored gelatin, any flavor
- 2 packet (0.25 oz each) unflavored Knox gelatin
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 cup boiling water
Instructions
Bloom and Dissolve
- Sprinkle both packets of unflavored Knox gelatin over the cold water in a large bowl. Let sit 5 minutes until thickened.
- Add the 2 boxes of flavored gelatin powder to the bloomed Knox mixture.
- Pour the boiling water over the gelatin mixture.
- Whisk for 2 to 3 minutes until completely dissolved, with no granules remaining.
Set and Serve
- Pour the mixture into a shallow 9x13-inch pan.
- Refrigerate uncovered until the surface sets, then cover and chill at least 4 hours, or until fully firm.
- Once fully set, cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.
- Serve straight from the pan or arrange squares on a plate, chilled.
Notes
Store covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week. For a firmer, cleaner cut, add a third packet of Knox. For a sugar-free version, use sugar-free flavored gelatin and skip the extra Knox packet -- one packet sets firm enough on its own.
