Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of the water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of water and the erythritol. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Once the mixture is hot (but not boiling), remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Step 4
Add almond milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetener if needed, keeping in mind that the sweetness may decrease slightly once chilled.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into molds or a 9x9-inch dish for a simple cut-and-serve presentation.
Step 7
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, let it sit overnight.
Step 8
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the almond jelly and invert onto a plate or, if using a single dish, cut into squares.
Step 9
Enjoy your refreshing and light low-carb almond jelly as a dessert or a snack!
