Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box (0.3 oz) sugar-free Jell-O (any flavor: strawberry, lime, or orange)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for smoother texture)
- ½ cup fat-free Cool Whip or light whipped topping
- ½ tsp vanilla or almond extract (optional)
- Pinch pink salt (optional, enhances sweetness)
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: Pour the sugar-free gelatin powder into a medium bowl and add 1 cup of boiling water. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved to ensure a smooth texture.
- Add Cold Water: Stir in 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to avoid curdling the dairy when added.
- Blend with Cottage Cheese: Transfer the gelatin mixture and 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a smoother consistency) into a blender and blend until silky smooth and uniformly mixed.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Gently fold in ½ cup of fat-free Cool Whip or light whipped topping using a spatula until evenly combined, maintaining the fluffy texture.
- Chill to Set: Spoon the fluff into serving cups or jars. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until the dessert is firm and set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and firm, serve the Bariatric Jello Fluff cold as a light and satisfying dessert.
Notes
- Optionally add ½ tsp vanilla or almond extract to enhance flavor.
- A pinch of pink salt can be included to boost sweetness without added sugar.
- Greek yogurt can be used instead of cottage cheese for a smoother texture.
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to prevent grainy texture.
- Chilling time is essential for the fluff to set properly; do not rush.
- Use sugar-free gelatin to keep this dessert bariatric-friendly and low in sugar.
