This 1g net carb Jello whip is the perfect treat for low carb and Keto diets.
Greetings, my Jello loving friends.
Today seems like a good day to go retro and recreate a classic Jello recipe. Like so many good things, it comes to us from the venerated Joys of Jell-O cookbook.
The idea is to create a light and airy Jello fluff using just Sugar-Free Jello and whipped cream.
Now there are two ways of doing it:
You can use a store-bought tub of Cool Whip if you want to save time. All you need is 1 package of Sugar-Free Jello and 1 tub of Cool Whip. The downside of this recipe is that the net carb count is 12g per serving.
Which brings us to method number 2. You can make your own sugar-free whipped cream and it lowers the net carb count down to 1g. That’s more like it.
For this recipe, you’ll need:
1 package Sugar-Free Jello, 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon sugar-free powdered sweetener.
Add some boiling water and ice water and you are in business.
This is one of those easy recipes that seem too good to be true. But you really can “whip up” a rather decadent treat for yourself in less than 10 minutes. It’s a creamy, fruity delight.
Truly a Joy of Jello.

Ingredients
1 (.3 oz) box Sugar-Free Jello, any flavor
¾ cup boiling water
1 cup ice water
1 cup heavy whipping cream*
1 tablespoon Confectioner's Swerve or equivalent powdered sweetener
Instructions
1. In a medium size bowl, stir Jello powder into boiling water and keep stirring until it is completely dissolved.
2. Fill a 1 cup measure with ice. Fill the remaining space in the measure with water to make 1 cup ice water.
3. Stir the ice water into the Jello and keep stirring until cooled and the ice cubes are mostly melted. Remove any unmelted ice cubes. The Jello will soft set while you do the next step.
4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together sweetener and heavy whipping cream. Whip until stiff peaks form.
5. Use the electric mixer to whip the soft set Jello into the whipped cream. Mix until fully combined.
6. Pour the Jello whip mixture into 4 custard cups or 1 medium sized bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Notes
*Alternately, use a tub of Sugar-Free Cool Whip and skip step 4. This will increase the carb count to 12g per serving.

My SF jello box says 8-- 1/2 cup servings, so I figured you used the smaller box so I just doubled everything. I made regular SF jello on the bottom, let it set, then made your recipe to put on top for a more dramatic look and taste. I can't wait to try it. It looks delicious.

You did that right. I keep forgetting that SF Jello comes in a bigger box too. I've never seen it before, but have heard about it. I'm going to update the recipe to show the size of the box. Thanks.

Really quick and easy dessert! I crushed some Oreos and placed them on top. 🙂

That sounds delicious! (But before anyone else comments this… it’s not so Keto when you add Oreos. Although you might be the kind of go getter who makes there own. https://theprimitivepalate.com/2015/03/08/ket-oreos-low-carb-oreos/ )

Wow! Just made this with the small box of lemon jello! It’s so good, just what I wanted, there are so many recipes using cream cheese and sour cream but this is much lighter and tastes great! Thank you

Sure thing!

Ok, I've been making jello and adding cut up strawberries. Then I add whipped cream to each bowl when serving. I'm on a low carb diet and this is about as close to a nill carb dessert I can eat! But was wondering if there were other ways to making jello. Question: there are two sizes of jello on the market. The small box requires 2 cups of water and the larger box requires 4 cups. Which one does your recipe require? The small box or the large box of jello? Thanks

Thanks!

Just made this with Cherry Jello. Amazing! Helps keep the temptation for sugar treats at bay! I used the swerve powdered sugar and there was no after taste or cooling sensation. Trying lime fluff next!
EmilyKrill says
Yum, lime fluff is the best.
