Jello whip combines three ingredients that most probably already have in their refrigerator or pantry – heavy cream, cream cheese and a flavored gelatin mix. Use any flavor from lemon jello, cherry jello, or strawberry. The combination of the whipped cream with the gelatin creates a creamy, cloud like texture with a punch of flavor. If you want chunks of fruit, you can add in fruit to match or compliment your jello flavor to make a jello salad. Enjoy right away or chill it for several hours to thicken up. Top with fresh strawberries and whipped topping.

How to make Jello whip

  1. Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy.
  2. Add heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, add cold water to jello packet to bloom the gelatin.
  4. Pour in boiling water. Mix to dissolve.
  5. Slowly add jello mixture to the whipped cream and mix until combined.
  6. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.

Key ingredients

  • Cream cheese – Add for texture and very slight tangy, cheesecake flavor. This could be omitted; however, if you don’t have cream cheese on hand or don’t care for it.
  • Heavy cream – Used to make our jello dessert creamy and fluffy. Whipping air to the whipped cream makes this treat expand like fluffy clouds.
  • Gelatin packet – Flavored sugar free jello is used to make this easy keto dessert. I used strawberry for this recipe.

Sugar free jello

When it comes to flavored gelatin mixes, there are a couple different options.

  • Sugar free Jello: This jell-O is gelatin based and is zero carbs; however, it does contain some questionable sugar free ingredients like maltodextrin and aspartame. It comes in different flavors like black cherry, strawberry, peach, grape, raspberry.
  • Simply Delish Jel Dessert: This jello mixture has cleaner ingredients. It is plant based which makes it vegan friendly. It is sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Simply Delish is zero carbs and comes in a variety of flavors from strawberry, raspberry, orange and peach.

You can make your own jello as well by just using unflavored gelatin. Then add in a flavor extract like strawberry along with food coloring to match the color of the flavor.

Cool whip

Packaged Cool Whip that you find in the freezer section of your grocery store is not very keto friendly. In two tablespoons of Cool Whip, there are 2 grams of carbs. That might not seem like a lot of carbs but unless you only plan on having 2 tablespoons of dessert, you’ll need a lower carb option.

With this recipe, we make our own keto cool whip by combining softened cream cheese with heavy whipping cream. The cream cheese helps to thicken and stabilize the whipped cream. Plus this homemade whip cream is more keto friendly with less than 1 g net carb per 2 tablespoons. Actually it’s closer to zero carbs.

Storage information

Store keto jello whip in the refrigerator for optimal texture. As the jello whip sits out at room texture, it will soft and be more pudding like rather that a thicker custard.

  1. Can you use whipped topping (Cool Whip) instead of the cream cheese and heavy cream? I make one of these with Cool Whip and instant pudding, but the pudding flavors are limited.

    1. That’s what I’m going to try. I have unflavored gelatin so after I whip everything up and add the gelatin disolved in hot water, I’m going to add some chopped strawberries that I’ve thawed from the freezer. Fingers crossed!
