Jelly Crystals for Home Bakers

Jelly Crystals for Every Home Baker in India

Jelly crystals are a dry premix of sugar, flavouring, and a plant-based setting agent.  Dissolve them in hot water, pour into moulds or serving glasses, and refrigerate. Within two to three hours, you have a firm, wobbly jelly that holds its shape cleanly and sets with a clear finish.

Unlike gelatin-based jelly powder, MeronKart's instant jelly powder is fully vegetarian. The setting agents used are plant-derived, making every flavour in this collection suitable for vegetarians and vegans without any compromise on texture or taste.

How to Make Jelly at Home Using Jelly Crystal Powder

Most people think making jelly at home is complicated. It is not; if you can boil water and own a refrigerator, you can make perfect jelly using an instant jelly powder in under five minutes of active time.

Your jelly crystal mix only needs three simple steps:

  1. Dissolve the crystals in hot water as directed on the pack. The ratio matters, so follow it closely

  2. Pour the liquid into moulds, cups, or a flat tray and leave it undisturbed

  3. Refrigerate for two to three hours, and the vegetarian jelly powder does the rest, setting firm, clear, and ready to serve

Serve it as individual cup jellies, layer it with fresh fruit for a quick dessert, cut into cubes for fruit chaat, or use it as a topping for cakes and dessert bowls. Jelly cubes also pair beautifully with milkshakes and dessert drinks.
