Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pour 1/2 cup cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle 3 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until spongy.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove the juice mixture from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly until it is still liquid but not hot, about 10 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Arrange 1 cup mango chunks, 1 cup kiwi slices, and 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks evenly into 6 small clear cups or molds.
  6. Step 6: Pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the fruit in each cup, filling to the top. Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint over the top of each cup.
  7. Step 7: Refrigerate the cups for at least 4 hours or until fully set before serving.
