gelatine

Wobbly dessert base

Gelatine is an alternative spelling of gelatin, the translucent protein derived from collagen—extracted from animal bones, skin, and connective tissue.

It dissolves in hot water and sets into a wobbly solid when cooled, used to thicken desserts, jellies, and capsules.

The spelling gelatine is more common in British English.
