Hello! 👋
Man oh man. I watched the live-action Aladdin movie last night, so I've had those songs in my head this morning as I made these Orange Creamsicle Jello Whips. And now I shall pass this earworm onto you. (here's the video)
Catchy, am I right?
But let's focus. 😐
I'm here to share a recipe for Orange Creamsicle Jello Whips, a most delicious treat. It's this very easy-to-make dessert with zero sugar and 35 calories. I predict that this creamy fruity whip will become a favorite in your household. It's certainly on the Top 10 Desserts list in mine.
So let me show you how to make them.
✴️ Ingredients
- Orange Sugar-Free Jello
- boiling water
- ice water
- plain Greek yogurt
🌈 Other Sugar-Free Jello Flavors
You can use any flavor of Jello that you like in these Keto Jello Whips. The four brands that make sugar-free Jello are Jello-O, Royal, GramZero, and (somewhat surprisingly) Starburst. Usually, the only brands that you can buy in the supermarket are Jell-O and Royal, but you can find the other two on Amazon.
- Jell-O Brand Flavors: Cherry, Black Cherry, Lime, Lemon, Strawberry, Peach, Raspberry, and Orange
- Royal Brand Flavors: Strawberry, Lime, Orange, Cherry, Raspberry
- Starburst Brand Flavors: All Pink Strawberry, Blue Raspberry, Cherry
- GramZero Brand Flavors: Raspberry, Strawberry, Cherry, Lemon, Lime, Orange
🍚 Naturally sweetened Jello
I often hear from people who are concerned about the artificial sweeteners used in Jello. Well, I am happy to report that I've found a brand of gelatin that is naturally sweetened. It's the GramZero Jello that I mentioned. It is sweetened with Stevia, so it's a healthier way to go if you are worried about artificial ingredients.
📖 Instructions
- Add ¾ cup boiling water to a medium-sized bowl. Pour in Jello powder and stir until fully dissolved.
- Make 1 cup of ice water by measuring out 1 cup of ice, and pouring water in until it fills the cup.
- Add ice water to the dissolved Jello and mix until ice melts and Jello thickens.
- Add Jello mixture and 1 cup yogurt to a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
- Pour the Jello into serving glasses or a medium-sized bowl and chill for 2 hours.
Done! 🥰
This is hands down, the easiest recipe on this site. It's a low-calorie dessert that you can "whip up" in no time. And it's just perfect for snacking on as you belt out Aladdin songs.

Hi, my mom used to make this for us when we were little.
She used jello and cool whip...whipped them together after the jello was set.
I now use yogurt.
It's yummy!
MaryAnn says
this looks great. I wonder, if you used unflavored gelatin and the kool-aid packets, how much sweetener, you would need, to add?
EmilyKrill says
I've never tried this method- you'd have to just tinker with it until it tasted sweet enough.
Joyce Lauenborg says
Can’t wait to try this but wonder if I can substitute unflavored gelatin & something for the fruit flavor since I’m not wanting the artificial sweetener in the sugar free jello. Thanks, Joyce
EmilyKrill says
That sounds doable, but I don’t know what the measurements would be. You’d need to play around with it.
Madison says
I have made jello with unflavored gelatin and kool aid packets and sweetener of choice.
Debbie says
There is a recipe on Pinterest for homemade sugar free jello using stevia, kook aid and gelatin.
EmilyKrill says
Using "homemade" Kool-Aid is not any better for you than SF Jello in terms of chemicals, if that is what you are trying to accomplish. Both use Aspartame and Maltodextrin for sweetness. You are really just substituting one set of chemicals for another.
Pat St. John says
This is a great recipe/ desert for diabetics as well!
EmilyKrill says
Thanks. I'm a diabetic so I am always on the look out for good desserts.
Linda says
Do you add the ice that hasn’t melted?
EmilyKrill says
Yes, you add the whole 1/2 cup ice water.
EmilyKrill says
Then the boiling water will quickly melt the ice, and the liquid will be cool.
Barbara says
1/2 cup? The recipe says 1 cup of ice water.
EmilyKrill says
Use 1 cup of ice water, yes.
Big Pete says
Uhhhhhhh...ha...Um yeah, I was wondering if you could substitute instant mashed potatoes for the jello and 1 large jar of Hienz Roasted Groundhog Gravy for the Greek yogurt?
EmilyKrill says
Ha, ha, ha. Thanks for the laugh. The funniest substitution I've heard was whether or not beef could be replaced with "freshly slaughtered rabbit meat". (The answer was yes, definitely. Hare it up!)
Joyce says
I’m wondering if I can substitute dairy free yogurt as I cannot do dairy.
EmilyKrill says
I've never tried that, but it should work.
Sylvie says
Why would it not work? Elaine will set anything, even water.
EmilyKrill says
Why would what not work? And who is Elaine?
Cathy Krause says
I have made this several times, with one alteration. I found another recipe that didn’t have a cool down time in the fridge, so I tried that. Once the jello is dissolved in the hot (not boiling) water, just add the rest of the water and the yogurt and blend. I use my vitamix which adds a lot of volume, and there is no separation once cooled. I have tried so many different flavors, and even added a few other things like dried orange peel to the orange jello, and have loved everyone.
EmilyKrill says
Yum, orange peel sounds great in this. And I actually did just update my Jello Whip recipes to do a quick set instead of a 30 minute in the fridge cool down. So my new method is to cool the dissolved Jello down with ice water, and then I add it to a blender with the yogurt. I agree, you get a lot more air into the mixture with the blender.
Sandy says
Just made this again with sugar free lemon jello and it is delicious! Hard to decide which I like best, lemon or orange! Both are soooo good. Thank you again for the recipe.
EmilyKrill says
That is so funny, because I was just at the supermarket and I was thinking about doing a lemon Jello whip. I think this is the Universe telling me to make Lemon Jello. There is really no other explanation.
Sandy says
You won’t be disappointed👍
EmilyKrill says
I loved it. For the first 20 minutes I was not fully on board with it, but once I got used to the new actors, I really enjoyed it. And I’ve got a 7 year old, so I am sure to see it many, many times.
Elena says
I am making this right now. Anxious to set how it turns out.
Patricia says
The recipe is one I have made WAY before Keto was such a thing. Glad to see it's posted for others to use. I've only used crèmè fraîche. Good to know the Greek yogurt works well. And now I can't get that song out of my head. Ugggghhhh!!! :((
EmilyKrill says
Hahaha, apologies for the ear worm. If it makes you feel any better, now I have it stuck in my head all over again.
Fran says
I have made both orange and lemon and they are equally delicious. I’m going to try other flavours. Thank you for this delicious recipe.
EmilyKrill says
Sure thing! I love any red flavor of Jello. I make a lot of raspberry Jello whips.
Kathy says
Has anyone tried this with cream cheese instead of yogurt?
EmilyKrill says
I’ve got a similar recipe that uses cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/keto-raspberry-jello-mousse
