D´Gari

This gelatin is very easy to make and visually striking, as its most interesting feature is that it glows in the dark. This is due to the tonic water used, which contains a component called quinine that produces this effect. Additionally, the D’Gari® crystal gelatin in pineapple flavor is ideal to achieve this effect, though it can also be done with some other flavors of D’Gari® water gelatins.

Preparation

3 mins

Low

Heat 1 ½ cups of tonic water in a pot over medium-low heat and add the D’Gari® crystal gelatin in pineapple flavor, the hydrated D’Gari® gelatin, and sugar. Stir for about 3 minutes until everything has completely dissolved. Transfer the gelatin to a bowl and add the remaining 2 cups of tonic water (at room temperature), whisking until fully incorporated. It is normal for a lot of foam to form on the surface due to the gas; simply let the bowl rest for 10 minutes until the foam has reduced. Pour the gelatin into the desired mold and refrigerate for 2 hours or until completely solid. Unmold the gelatin onto your chosen base or platter, and it’s time for the magic to happen. It is important to use black lights to observe the fluorescence when the lights are turned off. Enjoy your glowing gelatin.

Tips

Pour the gelatin into the molds when it is completely clear and free of foam. Use LED black lights, as they are more powerful and will help the fluorescent effect to be seen with better quality.
