Note

For best results, grease the mold lightly with cooking spray before pouring the gelatin mixture to ensure easy release.

You can fold in fresh fruit like diced strawberries or kiwi before chilling for added texture and flavor, though this may prevent a clean slice.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If using individual molds, they will set faster, often in just 2-3 hours.
