Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons gelatin powder (unflavored)
• 0.5 cup cold water
• 1.5 cups boiling water
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups fruit juice (any flavor, preferably unsweetened)
• 2 cups fresh mixed fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 optional for greasing mold nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir the gelatin powder into the cold water and let it bloom (absorb the water) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar into the boiling water until dissolved. Add the bloomed gelatin and continue whisking until completely dissolved.

Step 3

Stir in the fruit juice and lemon juice. Let the mixture cool slightly, but do not let it set.

Step 4

Prepare your gelatin mold or bundt pan by lightly greasing it with nonstick cooking spray (optional). This step will make it easier to release the mold later.

Step 5

Place the fresh fruit in the mold or pan, arranging it as aesthetically as possible.

Step 6

Pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the fresh fruit, gently tapping the mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles and ensure the liquid surrounds the fruit completely.

Step 7

Refrigerate the mold for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. For best results, chill it overnight.

Step 8

To unmold, run a butter knife gently around the edges of the mold and dip the mold briefly into warm water to loosen the gelatin. Invert onto a serving plate and carefully lift off the mold.

Step 9

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious and colorful fruit mold!
