Step 1

Soften gelatin sheets: Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5-10 minutes until they become soft.

Step 2

Prepare liquid: Heat about 300 ml of water (not boiling, just hot) in a pot. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Dissolve gelatin: Squeeze excess water from gelatin sheets and add them into the hot water. Stir gently until fully dissolved.

Step 4

Add lemon juice and collagen: Add your squeezed lemon juice and collagen powder to the warm mixture. Stir well.

Step 5

Sweeten if needed: Taste your mixture and add sweetener if desired. Mix until dissolved.

Step 6

Add cold water: Add remaining cold water to cool down the mixture slightly.

Step 7

Add fruit: Place chopped peaches or other fruit at the bottom of your mold or serving glasses.

Step 8

Pour gelatin mix: Pour the liquid gelatin mixture over the fruit.

Step 9

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 10

Tips: Do not boil the gelatin mixture after adding gelatin or collagen — heat too high can break down gelatin’s setting properties. Use fresh fruits that don’t release too much water, so the jello sets well. Lemon juice adds a nice tart flavor and Vitamin C which helps collagen absorption! You can experiment with other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi. Collagen powder will boost the protein and skin benefits without altering the taste much.
