Originally Answered: Why do you need to boil the water before making Jello? Simple answer. Both the gelatin and sugar needs to dissolve. It takes much longer to dissolve the contents in cold water.
- Can I set Jello in the freezer?
You can put Jello in the freezer for maybe 20 minutes or so, but you don't want it to freeze at all, because freezing Jello will ruin it. When frozen, Jello can lose its ability to gel and turn into a watery, goopy mess.
