kcal: Approximately 180 per serving
Ingredients:
For the Jello Layer:
- 1 package (0.3 ounces) of sugar-free flavoured gelatin (flavour of your choice)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
For the Mousse Layer:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar-free flavoured gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
- Pour the jello mixture into individual serving glasses or a glass baking dish. Fill them halfway to create a thin jello layer. Place the glasses or dish in the refrigerator and let the jello set for about 2 hours or until firm.
- While the jello is set, prepare the mousse layer. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- After the gelatin has bloomed, microwave it for 10-15 seconds or until it has completely dissolved and turned into a clear liquid. Be cautious not to overheat.
- Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the whipped cream mixture while continuously whisking. Make sure the gelatin is well incorporated.
- Retrieve the glasses or dish with the set jello from the refrigerator. Gently spoon the mousse mixture over the jello layer, filling the glasses or covering the jello in the dish entirely.
- Place the glasses or dish back in the refrigerator and let the mousse layer set for another 2 hours or until firm.
- Once the mousse layer is set, you can optionally garnish the desserts with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of sugar-free chocolate shavings.
- Serve and savour the heavenly delight of Keto Mousse Jello! Each spoonful offers a perfect combination of the silky mousse and the refreshing jello, creating a dessert that is as visually stunning as it is delicious.
