Flavourless, odourless, and crystal clear, gelatine leaves are a quick and easy way to transform your culinary cooking. It is the magic ingredient for making soft, pillowy marshmallows, elegant panna cotta and sparkling raspberry jelly.
Step by Step to a perfect setting:
Cover gelatine leaves with cold water and allow them to swell for approximately 5 minutes.
Remove the softened gelatine from the water and gently squeeze out, discarding the excess water.
In dishes prepared while cold (cream dishes, whipped cream): Place the softened gelatine into your base of choice (milk, cream, fruit juice in a pan over low heat while stirring continually. (Don’t bring to boil). Slowly add other cold ingredients to gelatine and mix slowly until blended completely
In dishes prepared while warm (Jellies, aspic): Blend in the softened gelatine directly with the warm cream or liquid until it has dissolved. Don’t boil the liquid gelatine as it will loose its setting power.
Setting: After preparation, place in the refrigerator to set and form a gel.
Turning out: Some gelatine dishes are turned out before serving. To do this, separate the edges of the jelly from the mould using a knife that has been dipped in warm water.
