gelatin
Jiggly dessert base
Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen, extracted by boiling animal bones, skin, and connective tissue.
It dissolves in hot water and sets into a firm, translucent jelly when cooled—the basis for desserts, gummy candies, and aspics.
Gelatin also appears in capsules, photographic film, and cosmetics.
As an adjective, gelatin describes things made from or resembling the substance: gelatin capsules, gelatin molds.
