Red White and Blue Dessert

Red White and Blue Dessert

In honor of Independence day, I made a Red, White and Blue dessert. It was quite delicious and easy to make assuming you have time for it to chill in the fridge! I know it's a little late (with it being July 5th and all...) but it's still a great dessert!

It is NOT induction friendly. Make sure that you are already eating berries before making this. However, if you omit the blueberries, it IS induction friendly, but only eat a small slice. You will be using up all three of your sweetener allowances in one slice.

Red White and Blue Dessert

7 Net carbs with blueberries

2.9 Net carbs without blueberries

Serves 6

1 package unflavored gelatin

1 cup water

16 oz full fat cream cheese

3 teaspoons of liquid sucralose (depending on sweetness. I prefer it to be a little less sweet, but you can add an extra 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon if you want it sweeter)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 box Sugar-Free strawberry Jello (or whatever flavor you prefer, if you want it red or whatever color/flavor you would like)

4 cups water (as per flavored Jello instructions: 2 hot and 2 cold)

1/2 cup whipping cream

2 tablespoons sugar free vanilla syrup (Such as Torino or DaVinci)

3/4 cup blueberries (a little less than a pint)

1. In a small bowl, pour the unflavored gelatin packet over 1 cup of water, let sit for a few minutes, then warm in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir until dissolved. Meanwhile, in an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add liquid sweetener to taste and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin/water mixture into your mixer. Mix well, try to get all the lumpies out. Pour into a spring form pan (I used a 6" in the picture, but you could use a larger one and yield a thinner dessert). Refrigerate until set, about 3-4 hours.

2. Make Jello via package directions using the water and Sugar Free Jello. Pour over the cream cheese mixture and let sit in the refrigerate for another 3-4 hours. (Put this on a plate just in case the spring form pan leaks at this point.)

3. Prepare whipped cream using 1/2 cup whipping cream mixed with a few tablespoons of Sugar-Free Vanilla syrup to taste (i like to use 1-2 tablespoons) in your electric mixture using the whisk attachment.

4. While the cream is whipping in your electric mixture, un-mold your layered dessert by dipping it in a bowl of hot water for a few seconds) Make sure to only go up the sides as far as the layers go. Don't get the hot water in your Jello! Put it on your serving plate

5. Top your Jello with the whipped cream. Top with blueberries and enjoy! Yum!
