Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packets Unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Limeade concentrate (frozen, thawed)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized bowl with 1 cup of cold water. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin packets evenly over the surface of the water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water over medium heat until it begins to steam (not boiling). Slowly whisk in the bloomed gelatin until it is completely dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the limeade concentrate, granulated sugar, and fresh lime juice. Continue stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl or individual serving glasses, depending on your preference.
Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with lime zest and a dollop of whipped cream for added presentation and flavor.
