Peach Flavor Gelatin

Store the dry gelatin mix in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, it has a very long shelf life.

For a firmer set, use slightly less water than the package directs.

To create a layered effect, allow each layer to partially set before adding the next.

Dissolve the gelatin completely in hot liquid before adding cold ingredients; cold will prevent it from dissolving properly.

Whipped cream

Fresh fruit (berries, mandarin oranges, peaches)

Ice cream

Crushed cookies or graham crackers for a crust

Not dissolving the gelatin granules completely in hot water, leading to a grainy texture.

Adding too much liquid, resulting in a weak set or a more liquid-like dessert.

Mixing in fresh pineapple, kiwi, or papaya, as the enzymes in these fruits can prevent gelatin from setting.
