Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces cherry-flavored gelatin mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1.5 cups cold water
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry-flavored gelatin mix and unflavored gelatin powder.
Add the boiling water and stir for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved.
Add the cold water and mix thoroughly.
Lightly coat a 9x9-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is firm and set.
Once set, remove the dish from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut the gelatin into 16 square portions.
Carefully transfer the squares to a serving plate using a spatula and serve chilled.
