Low Carb Pie

By Carroll Pellegrinelli, About.com

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, 00 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.
