Ingredients

Scale

Gelatin Mixture

  • 1 box (0.3 oz) sugar-free Jell-O (any flavor: strawberry, lime, or orange)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water

Dairy and Topping

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for smoother texture)
  • ½ cup fat-free Cool Whip or light whipped topping

Optional Ingredients

  • ½ tsp vanilla or almond extract (optional)
  • Pinch pink salt (optional, enhances sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Gelatin: Pour sugar-free gelatin into a medium bowl and add boiling water. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  2. Add Cold Water: Stir in 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and let it cool slightly to avoid curdling in the next step.
  3. Blend Mixture: In a blender, combine the slightly cooled gelatin mixture with low-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture becomes silky smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Gently fold in the fat-free Cool Whip using a spatula until just combined, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
  5. Chill: Spoon the fluffy mixture into individual serving cups or jars. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until firm and set.
  6. Serve: Once chilled and firm, serve the Bariatric Jello Fluff cold and enjoy a refreshing, low-calorie dessert.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, substitute low-fat cottage cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • Optional vanilla or almond extract can enhance the flavor without adding calories.
  • A pinch of pink salt intensifies the sweetness naturally.
  • Make sure the gelatin mixture is not too hot before blending to prevent curdling of the dairy.
  • Chill thoroughly for best texture and firmness.
