Hi Mala.Yes, you can substitute gelatin sheets with powdered gelatin you just need to use the correct ratio.
▪️Standard equivalence:1 sheet of gelatin (gold grade, the most common type) is approximately equal to 2 grams of powdered gelatin.
▪️Hydration:Gelatin sheets are soaked in cold water and then dissolved in a warm liquid.Powdered gelatin is also bloomed in cold water—usually 5 times its weight in water (for example, 10 g of water for 2 g of gelatin)—let it sit for a few minutes, then heat it to dissolve.
▪️Important:If your recipe is designed for sheets and you use powdered gelatin instead, just make sure it’s fully dissolved to get an even texture.
I hope this helps!Best regards. -
