I've made this quite often for my husband. The flavor options are only limited by your imagination and the available flavors of Sugar Free JELL-O. You can also make this a low fat dessert by using fat free whipped topping.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 6 hours

Total Time: 6 hours, 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1-4 serving size any-flavor sugar-free gelatin dessert
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • ice cubes
  • 8-ounce tub whipped topping, thawed

Preparation:

Stir boiling water into gelatin for at least 2 minutes. Add enough ice to cold water to make 1-1/4 cups. Stir into gelatin mixture until thickened. Discard any remaining ice. Stir in whipped topping with wire whisk until smooth. Pour into glass pie plate. Refrigerate until firm, about 6 hours. If desired, garnish with additional whipped topping.

Note: To add more flavor, use diet soda, in complementary flavors, instead of cold water. Also adding a teaspoon of extract adds few carbs and more flavor.
