Ingredients

What you’ll need to make this recipe.

• Sugar-free strawberry Jello
• Reddi-Wip
• Strawberries
• Blueberries

How to make this recipe

1 – Make the Jello according the the package and split it up between 4 cups.

2 – Place Jello in the fridge. It takes several hours for Jello to set up, but once it’s done it’s ready to go.

3 – When you’re ready to eat the Jello, top with whipped cream and your favorite fruit. I like to use strawberries and blueberries because they are in season and are festive for the holiday.

If you are going to serve this for an afternoon or evening treat, I recommend getting started first thing in the morning since Jello takes some time to chill and set up in the fridge.

There are methods to expedite the chilling process, such as adding ice to the Jello mixture when preparing. All the information is right on the box.

I used the original Reddi-Whip for my dessert, but they also offer non-dairy options made with almond or coconut milk.  

What are the benefits to eating gelatin?

Gelatin is made by boiling animal bones, cartilage, and skin to extract the collagen. When collagen is processed, it becomes a flavorless, colorless substance called gelatin. After gelatin cools, it has a jelly-like texture.

Gelatin dissolves in hot water, which collagen does not do, making the texture practical to use in sauces, soups, and desserts. The health benefits of gelatin are similar to the benefits of collagen since gelatin contains the same amino acids.

Tip: If making these to serve for a party or gathering, they can be made in paper or plastic cups. This way you don’t have to worry about any of your dishes getting broken, especially if at an outdoor event.

How long can I store jello?

Prepared Jello will last about 7-10 days in the refrigerator.
