Gelatin recipe directions

Gelatin recipes can be confusing because often they do not give specific times for certain steps and the timing can be tricky, so I am providing this simple list of gelatin set times.

If the recipe says

Chill until slightly thickened

than means 75 minutes. (this is used when you will be beating the jello or adding whipped topping)



Chill until thickened

this means 90 minutes (this is used when adding fruits, vegetables or other ingredients)



Chill until set but not firm

This means 2 hours (this is used when you will be layering gelatin)



Chill until firm

This means 2 hours for individual molds and at least 5 hours for large molds (ready to serve)
