Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 1 box (0.3 oz) sugar-free Jell-O (any flavor: strawberry, lime, or orange)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
Fluff Mixture
- 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 fully dissolved.
- Add cold water: Stir in 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and mix well. Let it cool slightly to room temperature.
- Blend with cottage cheese/yogurt: In a blender, combine the cooled gelatin mixture with 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture is silky smooth and free of lumps.
- Fold in whipped topping: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl and gently fold in ½ cup of fat-free Cool Whip or light whipped topping using a spatula, until just combined to maintain the fluffy texture.
- Chill to set: Spoon the mixture into serving cups or jars. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for 3 to 4 hours or until the fluff is firm and set.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the bariatric jello fluff cold, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of pink salt or fresh berries if desired. Enjoy this light, protein-packed dessert.
