What each ingredient does

Knox sparkling gelatine
Sets the milk into a jelly-like texture once dissolved and chilled.
Cold milk
Forms the body of the dish and is the liquid the gelatine sets in.

The step that matters

Dissolving the gelatine fully. Gelatine must be completely dissolved before it is combined with the milk. Undissolved granules can remain as specks or weak spots, so the mixture needs to be stirred until clear and smooth.
