“Give in! Give in! Give in to the taste!” -1980’s Sugar-Free Jello commercial
Today I’m going to share a recipe for low carb strawberry Jello cream pie, but first I want to show you something funny. It’s a Sugar-Free Jello commercial from the 1980’s that is absolutely riddled with extremely happy aerobic dancers. (video below)
But you have to admit, the commercial makes some good points.
Jello really is one of the easiest desserts you can make. And luckily for us, Sugar-Free Jello has just 5 calories and zero carbs per serving, so it’s low carb and Keto compliant to boot.
This recipe is based on a classic easy Jello Pie that uses a pre-made graham cracker crust and a mixture of Jello and Cool Whip.
But when you are doing low carb, almost nothing is this simple. Both Cool Whip and ready-made crusts are full of sugar and therefore off limits. So for or this low carb Jello cream pie, I used a great faux graham cracker crust from the gnom-gnom blog. You’ll make the low carb graham cracker crust, and then fill it with a mixture of Jello, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream and sugar-free sweetener. Soon you’ll have a slice of low carb strawberry Jello cream pie with only 4g net carbs.
So just give in, give in, give in to the taste!

May 22, 2019 at 9:02 pmI wish I could claim credit, but the graham cracker crust came from Paola at gnom-gnom. She is quite a good recipe maker.
