To prepare, you typically dissolve the powder in boiling water, then stir in cold water. The mixture is then poured into a mold or serving dish and chilled until firm. For layered desserts, different flavors can be prepared and poured on top of each other after each layer has set slightly. It can also be used as a base for trifles or incorporated into other desserts for a unique texture.
