Simply Desserts
Whether you’re making a silky no-bake cheesecake, a creamy mousse, a classic flan, or a fruit jelly cake, Simply Desserts delivers the same smooth, set texture you expect — with cleaner ingredients your whole family can feel good about.
Yes and no — just like with traditional gelatin. Certain fresh fruits such as figs, kiwi, pineapple, and papaya contain natural enzymes that can prevent the mixture from setting properly. To work around this you can add an additional 2g sachet, or briefly boil those fruits for about 5 minutes to deactivate the enzymes before using them in your recipe. Other fruits — like strawberries, peaches, and apples — can be used freely without issue.
Yes! Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative works beautifully in dairy-based desserts such as cheesecakes, panna cotta, mousse, and more. It creates a smooth, creamy texture without altering the flavor of your dish.
Yes. Like traditional gelatin, Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative needs to be chilled to set properly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on your recipe (or overnight for best results). For even gelling, allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
Stir continuously for 3–5 minutes once added to boiling hot liquid in a pot on the stove. You’ll know it’s fully dissolved when the mixture is completely smooth with no visible signs of floating powder or granules.
Yes! Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is designed to be a direct 1-sachet-for-1-sachet replacement for Knox® Gelatine. Use 1 sachet of Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative wherever your recipe calls for 1 sachet (envelope) of Knox® Gelatine — no adjustments needed.
Yes. Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is Certified Gluten Free — perfect for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Yes! Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is Kosher certified (K). Traditional Knox® Gelatine is not Kosher, as it comes from a pork source. Simply Desserts is a great option for those following Kosher dietary guidelines.
Yes! Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is Non-GMO Project Verified, so you can feel confident about what goes into your recipes.
Yes. Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is Sugar Free with only 5 calories per serving (1 sachet / 2g), making it a great option for those watching their sugar intake.
Absolutely. Unlike traditional gelatin (including Knox®, which is derived from pork), Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is 100% plant-based and vegan. It is made with Gellan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum, and Potassium Citrate — no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever.
You likely skipped the blooming step! To prevent clumping, always start by emptying 1 sachet into ¼ cup of cold liquid (water, juice, or milk) in a small bowl. Stir well and let it stand for 1 minute to hydrate (bloom) before adding hot liquid. This step ensures smooth, lump-free results every time.
Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative contains: Gellan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum, and Potassium Citrate. It is unflavored, sugar free, plant-based, and free from the Big 9 allergens.
Follow these simple steps:
1. MIX: Empty 1 sachet into ¼ cup cold liquid (water, juice, or milk) in a small bowl. Stir well and let stand for 1 minute to hydrate.
2. HEAT: Bring ½ cup liquid to a boil in a small pot on the stove.
3. DISSOLVE: Add the hydrated mixture to the hot liquid and stir 3–5 minutes until fully dissolved and smooth.
4. USE IN RECIPE: Follow your recipe for the required number of sachets. Add the fully dissolved gelatin mixture at the stage your recipe instructs.
Using too much can result in a rubbery or overly stiff texture — the same as with traditional gelatin. Start with the recommended 1 sachet per recipe and adjust from there if needed. A little goes a long way!
If the mixture isn’t setting, check the following:
(1) Make sure you bloomed the sachet in cold liquid before heating.
(2) Confirm the mixture was stirred for at least 3–5 minutes to fully dissolve.
(3) Ensure your liquid-to-gelatin ratio matches the recipe.
If needed, slightly increase the amount of Gelatin Alternative in your next attempt.
