The individual portion size is convenient for single servings.

To prepare, you typically dissolve the contents of the packet in a specified amount of boiling water. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved. Then, add a measured amount of cold water. Pour the mixture into individual molds or a larger serving dish. Refrigerate for several hours until firm. The chilling process allows the gelatin to set and create its characteristic wobbly texture.
