Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup Water
- 1 package Sugar-free cherry drink mix
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener (granulated erythritol or similar)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 1 cup of cold water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, letting the gelatin bloom.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the sugar-free cherry drink mix until it is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Add the bloomed gelatin to the cherry mixture, stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved in the hot liquid.
Step 4
Pour in the lemon juice and add the sweetener, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 5
Slowly add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture, stirring constantly to ensure an even distribution and smooth consistency.
Step 6
Pour the gelatin mixture into a mold or desired serving dishes, leaving room at the top as the mixture will expand slightly as it sets.
Step 7
Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the gelatin is firm and fully set.
Step 9
Once set, cut the gelatin into cubes or unmold it onto a plate for serving. Enjoy your low-carb classic red gelatin dessert!
