I made some jello and I want some now instead of tomorrow. Will it set faster if I stuck it in the freezer?

I suppose it doesnt help that I made a double batch either.

Yep, it does 'jell' faster in the freezer but keep checking to make sure it doesn't freeze.

Next time when you want it right away, make it using half ice cubes.

If you're making a 4 serving package, pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over the Jell-o and stir until dissolved. Then stir in 1 1/2 cups of ice cold water. Let it set in a shalow container with lots of area and it will set in about an hour.

I make it with knox and koolaid so what I do is take 2 cups cold water and spirnkle 2 packets of knox then boil water add the koolaid and splenda to the hot water and then pour and stir on top of the gelatin.

Should I use colder water? of put the gelatin on 1 cup of ice water and then after I pour in the hot water add a cup of ice?

You have to be caeeful it doesnt crystalise - I did that one time and it all went like sorbet.

On the box of Jell-O, you'll find their "speed set" method. This is thickened (but not completely set) in 30 minutes. I do it all the time and it's the big (double) box. *Ü*

How much water do you use in total?

Karen

2 cups cold 4 cups hot to 2 packets knox

6 cups of water total

Sprinkle the Knox over 1/2 cup cold water and let it sit until the gelatin softens.

Heat 1 cup of water to a boil then crumble the softened gelatin into small bits and add to the boiling water. Remove from the heat and stir until it dissolves.

Whisk in 1 cup of warm-ish water then add the remaining 3 1/2 cups water - make sure it's ice cold - and the Kool-aid. Pour it into a wide, shallow container - like a 9 x 13 baking dish - and it should set in an hour or so.

I'm so glad I found these directions... I've been looking for them for days!
