    Orange Keto Fluff Salad is a fun dessert made with a whipped cream base that is filled with sugar-free orange marshmallows and topped with coconut flakes. It's an easy-to-make low carb treat with only 6g net carbs per serving.

    a bowl of whipped cream and orange Jello slices

    Greetings all.

    What am I doing?  Just trying to figure out how to do up my hair for a big date.  I am torn between the “DATE-BAIT” and the “COCKADE”.  (I just looked up the meaning of “cockade” and it is not as racy as it sounds.)  Decisions, decisions.

    While I decide, let’s talk about an equally absurd dessert: Orange Keto Fluff Salad.

    Lately, I’ve been dreaming of this great orange Jello salad that I used to eat when I was a kid.  It was a heady mixture of mandarin oranges, coconut, whipped cream, orange Jello, and marshmallows.  But now that I am eating low carb, oranges and marshmallows are out of the question.  Problem!

    But not to worry, I came up with a work around: sugar free orange marshmallows.

    Yes!  It can be done.  I tinkered around until I came up with a recipe for orange marshmallows made from Sugar-Free Orange Jello, arrowroot powder, and whipped egg whites.  You can cut them up into squares, or make them look like orange slices by using a 1 inch round cookie cutter and cutting the circles in half.

    And what about the fluff part?

    The fluffy base of this Orange Keto Fluff Salad is a mixture of heavy whipping cream, sour cream, and powdered sweetener.  It’s a throwback to a classic fruit and whipped cream dessert salad called “ambrosia”.

    But is Sugar Free Jello Keto?

    Yes… probably.  Sugar-Free Jello has zero carbs so it is definitely Keto friendly.  It does contain the sweeteners aspartame and maltodextrin though, which are controversial in Keto circles.  But Sugar-Free Jello contains such a tiny amount of these artificial sweeteners, that they are very unlikely to knock you out of Ketosis.

    What is in low carb orange fluff salad?  

    To make this low carb Jello salad, you’ll need egg whites, cream of tartar, powdered sweetener, arrowroot powder, Sugar-Free Orange Jello, unflavored gelatin, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, and unsweetened coconut flakes.

    Ingredients for Orange Fluff Salad
    So you can whip this fluffy fruity dessert up in a jiffy.

    Bring it to potluck dinners, Little League games, and Tupperware parties alike.  Everyone will love it.  And each serving has just 269 calories and 6g net carbs so you can eat it with a guilt-free conscience.  

    But enough bragging, now it’s time for me to get out my Dippity-Do and curl my hair into “THE TEMPT-TRESS”.

    • Yield: 4 cups 1x
    • Category: Dessert
    • Method: Chilled
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Scale

    marshmallows:

    • 3 large egg whites
    • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
    • ½ cup Confectioner's Swerve or equivalent powdered sweetener
    • ¼ cup arrowroot powder
    • 5 teaspoons (2 envelopes) Knox unflavored gelatine
    • 1 envelope Sugar-Free Orange Jello
    • ½ cup cold water
    • ½ cup boiling water

    fluff:

    • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
    • ¼ cup Confectioner's Swerve or equivalent powdered sweetener
    • ½ cup sour cream

    topping:

    • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes

    Instructions

    Step 1.  Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

    Step 2.  In a medium-sized bowl, mix together ½ cup powdered sweetener and ¼ cup arrowroot powder.

    Step 3.  Add egg whites to a large bowl.  Use an electric mixer set on Medium-High to whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes.

    Step 4.  Slowly beat in the powdered arrowroot mixture.

    Step 5.  In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together unflavored gelatin, orange Jello powder and ½ cup cold water.  Allow to soften for 5 minutes.

    Step 6.  Mix in ½ cup boiling water and stir until fully dissolved.

    Step 7.  Use a whisk to beat the hot Jello liquid into the egg whites.  Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix until fully combined.

    Step 8.  Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour until firm.

    Step 9.  Remove the gelled mixture from the pan with a pancake turner and place on a cutting board.  Either cut into 1 inch squares or use a 1 inch circular cookie cutter to cut into circles.  Cut the circles in half to look like orange slices.

    Step 10.  In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on Medium-High to whip together 2 cups heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup powdered sweetener until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes.

    Step 11.  Beat in ½ cup sour cream until fully combined.

    Step 12.  Fold the orange marshmallows into the whipped fluff, holding back a few to add to the top as a garnish.

    Step 13.  Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

      My hubby figured out a recipe about like this using the Orange Jello sugar free box, with whipping cream and full-fat cottage cheese. I forgot about the Cocoanut Flakes, of course, raw, not sugared.
      We'll have to attempt this one for 4th of July!

      I love how easy this recipe is to make. I brought it to a church dinner and no one had any idea that it was sugar free. Will definitely make again.

        I passed the sugar-free test. Yay! I love it when no one notices a dessert is sugar-free.

    I'm Emily, the diabetic behind Resolution Eats. Many years ago, I made a New Year's resolution to switch to a low carb diet. It improved both my health and my outlook on life. Since then, I've come up with hundreds of Keto recipes for everything from soup to nuts. And this blog is a way for me to share the low carb love. Cheers!
