Can Jell-O be made with non-dairy milk?

Asked 2 years ago
Jell-O is primarily made from gelatin, sugar, and flavoring, and it typically requires boiling water for the preparation process. While traditional Jell-O recipes do not include non-dairy milk, innovative adaptations can be made if one aims to incorporate non-dairy options. It is important to note that gelatin itself is derived from animal products, so those seeking a vegan alternative might consider using plant-based gelatin substitutes, such as agar-agar or carrageenan, which can create similar gelatinous textures using non-dairy milk. To prepare a dessert using non-dairy milk, one might create a pudding-style treat instead, combining the non-dairy milk with a suitable thickening agent and flavors. The result would have a different texture and appearance compared to classic Jell-O. Individuals interested in exploring such adaptations may find inspiration in various online recipes. For more specific guidelines or help regarding Jell-O products, it is advisable to search the current Jell-O website for information.
