Product Details
Knox Unflavored Gelatine is powdered gelatin with no sugar, color or flavor added, so it takes on the taste of whatever you mix it into. It sets desserts, jellies, molded salads, cheesecakes, parfaits and gummies, and it thickens creams, mousses, ice cream and frozen yogurt.
Each resealable 16 oz canister holds about as much as 65 envelopes. Choose one canister or a pack of two or three (32 oz or 48 oz total). Browse more baking ingredients.

The Complete Guide
How Much To Use
One Knox envelope is 7 g, about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 teaspoons. When a recipe says "1 envelope," measure that from the canister. 1 level tablespoon is close to 1 envelope.
| You want | Gelatin | Liquid |
|---|---|---|
| Soft set (panna cotta, mousse) | 2 1/4 tsp | 2 cups |
| Classic jello, sliceable | 2 1/4 tsp | 1 1/2 to 2 cups |
| Firm set (molds, jigglers) | 2 envelopes (about 5 tsp) | 3 cups |
| Chewy gummies | 3 to 4 tbsp | 1 cup |
Tips And Common Mistakes
- Do not boil it. Boiling weakens gelatin so it may not set.
- Fresh pineapple, kiwi, papaya, mango, figs and fresh ginger stop it from setting. They contain enzymes that break gelatin down. Canned or cooked versions are fine.
- Give it time. Most desserts set in about 4 hours. Overnight gives the firmest, cleanest slice.
- Too firm? Warm it gently until it melts, add a little more liquid, and chill again.
- Unmolding: dip the mold in warm water for about 10 seconds, then flip onto a plate.
Who It's For
- Home bakers making panna cotta, cheesecake, mousse, marshmallows and stabilized whipped cream
- Parents and crafters making gummies and homemade jello with real juice
- Cooks making aspics, molded salads, or thickening cold soups and glazes
Recipes to Make
Classic Vanilla Panna Cotta
- 1/4 cup cold whole milk
- 3 1/2 tsp Knox unflavored gelatin
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pour the cold milk into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over it. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, heat the cream, sugar and salt over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the cream is steaming. Do not let it boil.
- Take the pan off the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir for about 1 minute until fully dissolved, then stir in the vanilla.
- Pour into 6 small glasses or ramekins. Cool for 15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, until set.
- Serve in the glasses, or dip ramekins in warm water and turn out onto plates. Top with berries or caramel.
Real Fruit Juice Gummies
- 1 cup 100% fruit juice (grape, apple, cherry or orange)
- 3 tbsp Knox unflavored gelatin
- 2 tbsp honey or sugar, to taste
- Silicone gummy molds and a dropper
- Pour 1/2 cup of the juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Add the rest of the juice and the honey. Warm over low heat, stirring, until the gelatin fully dissolves, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
- Skim off any foam, then use the dropper to fill the molds.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour, until firm, then pop the gummies out.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Stabilized Whipped Cream
- 1 tsp Knox unflavored gelatin
- 4 tsp cold water
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Microwave for 5 to 10 seconds, just until the gelatin melts into a clear liquid. Let it cool for 1 minute, but don't let it set.
- Beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.
- With the mixer running, drizzle in the melted gelatin, then beat to stiff peaks.
- Use right away to frost cakes or pipe on pies. It holds its shape in the fridge for 2 to 3 days without weeping.
