Chef’s Secret

To prevent fruit from sinking, allow the gelatin to partially set to a syrupy consistency before adding solid ingredients.

Substitutions

Best Match

Agar-Agar

1:0.25 (agar to gelatin)

Vegan alternative, firmer set, requires boiling to dissolve.

Pectin

1:1

Plant-based gelling agent, often used in jams, requires sugar and acid to set.

Carrageenan

1:0.5

Seaweed-derived, provides a range of textures from soft gel to firm.

Fruit Puree with Chia Seeds

Varies

Natural gelling, but yields a different texture and appearance.
