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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Chill: Spoon the fluffy mixture into individual serving cups or jars. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until firm and set.
- 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.
