Gelatin is a type of glue of animal origin. It is widely used in cooking for making jelly, as well as in pharmaceuticals, where it is used to make soluble capsules into pills.
Thanks to gelatin we can make delicious and effective sweets, cakes and creams, which are not too high in calories. Making a delicious fruit cake would be unthinkable without gelatin.
Gelatin is easy to work with, you just have to follow the rule to dissolve it in cold water and then do not allow the gelatin to boil when heated, because it will lump up and lose its properties.
So, we have already prepared gelatin, we have mixed it with the compote, juice or milk and it's time to wait for the cake to be ready. The gelatin needs some time to set.
The first signs of hardening of the mixture appear after about 40-60 minutes in the refrigerator. To speed up this process, you can put gelatin briefly in the freezer. The jelly will be completely firm and ready for consumption after at least 4 hours in the refrigerator and if it is larger in quantity, even after 6-8 hours.
