To prepare, you will typically dissolve the powder in boiling water until fully incorporated. Then, stir in cold water and refrigerate the mixture until it sets. The setting time can vary depending on the temperature of your refrigerator and the depth of the container. For firmer results, use less cold water. For a softer set, you might add a bit more cold water or a touch of whipped topping before serving. It can also be used as a base for other desserts.
