Bloom the Gelatin. In a saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold milk. Let it bloom (rest) for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to hydrate.
Dissolve the Gelatin. Turn the burner to medium heat and whisk the milk continually until the gelatin fully dissolves. Be careful not to let the mixture get too hot—keep it at or below 90°F if you’re using a thermometer.
Add Additional Ingredients. Once the gelatin is dissolved, whisk in the honey (or your sweetener of choice) and remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully combined.
Refrigerate to Set. Pour the mixture into your preferred containers. Small individual mason jars work well for single servings, but any glass cups or dishes will do, I’ve even used mugs before. Place them in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours to set completely.
Serve and Enjoy! Top the chilled dessert with fresh jam, berries, or a warm berry compote sweetened with maple syrup for an extra treat. Get creative with your toppings—experiment with flavors you love!
