Ingredients

• 3 1/2 tbsp grass-fed gelatin powder (Try Great Lakes Unflavored Gelatin!)

• 1 tsp raw honey

 

Directions

Dissolve gelatin in 1/3 cup cold water, and leave sit for 5 minutes until gel-like

 

Heat strawberries and honey in a sauce pan until fruit has softened

 

Remove strawberries from the heat and puree with an immersion blender or pour into a heat-safe blender and blend until smooth — return strawberry puree back into the sauce pan and stir in gelatin until it dissolves

 

Pour into glass dish or silicone mold (we used a heart-shaped mold!) and place into the fridge for 1 hour or until gelatin has fully set. Cut gelatin into squares or pop our of molds and enjoy!
