A low-calorie gelatin dessert that combines fresh fruit with protein for a satisfying and hydrating snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon plain gelatin powder or 3 sheets unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup hot water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/2 cup of cold water in a bowl and let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Dissolve the gelatin: Heat the hot water until steaming and pour it over the bloomed gelatin; stir until clear and smooth.
  3. Add sweetener and flavor: Stir in sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla or mint, tasting for balance.
  4. Prepare fruit: Chop fruit into bite-size pieces and distribute them into a container or molds.
