- Lightly spray a mold or a dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour half of the gelatin mixture into the mold. If using fresh fruit pieces, gently place them into this layer.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until it starts to set.
- Once the first layer is slightly firm, pour the remaining gelatin mixture on top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
- To serve, carefully remove the gelatin from the mold and slice into squares or wedges.

Notes
Consider presenting your gelatin on a decorative platter. Enhance the presentation with fresh mint or berries. You can also serve with whipped cream or yogurt on the side for added contrast.
