How to make keto jello salad
The steps to make this keto layered jello are very easy. It just takes time in between each layer to allow them to set. The good thing is that you don’t have to do it all at once if you don’t have the time. Make one layer and let it sit in the fridge until you’re ready to make the next layer and continue.
- Red layer: Mix the sugar free strawberry jello in a mixing bowl. Pour it into a jello mold or square baking dish, and refrigerate until set. This will become the top layer when the jello is flipped over and removed from the mold.
- White Layer: Mix the unflavored gelatin with water and let it bloom for 3-5 minutes. Transfer the bloomed gelatin to a larger bowl and pour in boiling water. Add marshmallows. Heat the mixture in the microwave or stove-top until melted. Stir in the whipping cream. Let it cool to room temperature, pour the red layer over the top, and refrigerate until set.
- Green Layer: Mix the sugar free lime jello for the bottom layer, let it cool to room temperature, pour it over the white layer, and refrigerate until set.
- Remove the gelatin salad from the mold and serve your gorgeous jello dessert.
