For a delightful twist, experiment with different flavorings such as lemon, orange, or pistachio extract. To prevent sticking, lightly grease your knife with cooking spray or dip it in powdered sugar between cuts. If you prefer a firmer texture, increase the amount of gelatin slightly. Make sure your microwave bowl is large enough to accommodate the mixture as it expands during cooking. For a vegan version, substitute the gelatin with agar-agar powder, adjusting the amount according to package directions.
