This Gelatin Recipe is Going to Make You the College Version of Martha Stewart

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Fordham chapter.

 Like many moms, mine is also a big fan of Martha Stewart’s recipes. Like many college students, my version of cooking is a grilled cheese sandwich and a reheated pizza. So, we decided to compromise and come together to do this easy recipe. I promise, if you follow this article, this gelatin recipe is going to make you the college version of Martha Stewart.

Fruity Terrine Recipe

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 10 minutesTotal time: 10 minutesServings:8 servings

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Alexandra Oduber

    Start by pouring the juice inside a small bowl. After that, add the gelatin to the juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.

    #Spoontip: Avoid having bit patches with excess gelatin by lightly sprinkling the gelatin into the juice, instead of just dropping it.

  2. Alexandra Oduber

    While you wait for juice and gelatin to soften, heat ¼ cup of the peach mango juice in a saucepan. Add the sugar and stir the pan until the sugar has been disolved. Turn off the heat once this has happened.

    Now, add the gelatin mixture you had in the other bowl into the pan until that mixture too, is dissolved.

    To finalize this step, add the juice we haven’t yet used and mix all of this together. It should look like the picture above.

  3. Alexandra Oduber

    Grab a loaf pan and put the fruits in it. You can add as many as you like, this is your dessert. Just know that you are later going to add the mixture we made, so it probably is a not good idea to fill the entire pan with fruits. Personally, I just grab a pair of handful of them and drop that amount.

  4. Alexandra Oduber

    As I said before, now is the moment you add the mixture to the pan. Be sure that all fruits are completely under the surface of the juice, so they won’t ruin your gelatin once its ready.

  5. Alexandra Oduber

    You are almost done. Leave the pan in the fridge until the gelatin has a firmer texture. This might take a minimum of 3 hours, but I always leave it overnight just to be safe.

  6. Alexandra Oduber

    Now that your gelatin is firm, add a little boiling water to a bigger pan. Be careful now, because this last step is the hardest one and it could ruin your gelatin for good. Dip the pan in the water for 2 seconds and try to flip it into a plate. If it is not flipping, continue to dip the pan for a few seconds and try again.

    Unmolding this gelatin might be hard, so try to be really careful not to leave the pan in hot water for too long. Try to carefully shake it the first time, if needed, before using the hot water again.

This is a step-by-step original recipe inspired by Martha’s own Mixed Berry Terrine recipe. This healthy dessert alternative is not only going to make you the next dinner party sensation, but it is also a perfect snack to eat while you binge watch your shows on Netflix. This gelatin is not only healthy, but it is also tasty and easy to make. The perfect combination.
