Ingredients
Jello
- 12 g/1 sachet unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/4 4 tablespoons cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup 50g sweetener of your choice (I used a stevia and erythritol blend)
- 1 cup 240ml boiled hot water
- 1 240ml cup cool water
- 1/2 teaspoon food coloring
Whipped Cream (See Note 3)
- 1 + 1/3 cups 300ml heavy whipping cream (double cream) or coconut cream
- 1/2 cup 50g powdered erythritol
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Keto Jello
- Boil half of the water and add it to a measuring jug for easy pouring later.
- Whisk the gelatin, sweetener, lemon juice, cool water, and coloring into the jug, and continue whisking until everything is dissolved.
- Prepare the 4 small bowls or cups that you want to set and serve the sugar-free jello in. I opted to make jello cups with 4 stemless wine glasses. I tilted them in a bread tin so that they would have a fun diagonal slant, but this is entirely optional.
- Pour the homemade jello mixture into your prepared dishes and allow it to come to room temperature if it hasn't already.
- Place the jello cups in the fridge and chill them until they are set, about 3 hours.
Whipped Cream
- Add the cream, sweetener, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer.
- Whip the ingredients with an electric mixer or the whisk attachment on your stand mixture until stiff peaks form.
- Once the jello has set, top it with whipped cream and a few blueberries if desired.
Notes
- Change colors: Any color of food coloring will work for this sugar free jello recipe! Try a tiny drop of red to make pink lemonade jello.
- Different flavors:
- Lime jello: Instead of adding freshly squeezed lemon juice, try lime juice plus a drop of blue coloring with 1/2 teaspoon of yellow to make green.
- Orange jello: Add 1/4-1/2 tsp of orange extract and a drop of red food coloring to the 1/2 teaspoon of yellow to make it orange.
- Strawberry jello: Add 1/4-1/2 tsp of strawberry extract and 1/2 a teaspoon of red food coloring. If you're a fan of fresh strawberries, add a few chopped strawberries to the mixture and let it set. Add whipped cream and blueberries to make this sugar free strawberry jello patriotic-themed. - Lower calorie: Skip the cream or use light cool whip or squirty cream to reduce the calories. To make it dairy-free, top it with my Coconut Whipped Cream Recipe (so tasty!).
- Make it paleo: Top with coconut whipped cream to make this treat dairy-free and paleo-friendly.
- Keto jello shots: Replace the cup of cold water with vodka and pour it into shot containers with lids. Make sure that the gelatin mixture is cool before adding the vodka - you don't want to burn off any alcohol!
- Store any leftover sugar free jello desserts in the fridge for up to a week.
