Here's Why High Protein Jello Mousse Works

  • High Protein. I've been craving sweets lately which is a very slippery slope for me. But it's also time to put together some healthy treats so I thought I'd try this very simple recipe. Not bad for 20 grams of protein!
  • Low Calorie. Much better than a protein bar in that sense and a lot fewer calories. It would also make a great snack or meal during the soft food and full liquids stage of sleeve-surgery recovery.
  • Variety. What I love about it is that I can use a variety of flavors of Jello, and it all works well. Above you see a photo of a sugar-free cherry Jello recipe. Below, I use orange jello to get a creamsicle like flavor.
  • Change it up. Use whatever type of sugar-free jello your family loves.

Can I Have Sugar Free Jello on Keto?

While some people choose to stay away from artificially sweetened foods and drinks while following a Keto lifestyle, I love having these options. If you want to see the best Keto sweeteners (and which to avoid) you can read this post I wrote on that topic HERE.

Can You Eat Whipped Cream on the Keto Diet?

While typical store-bought whipped cream like Cool Whip are full of sugar, you can make your own delicious whipped cream at home that's Keto-friendly.

To make your own Keto-friendly whipped cream, simply use an electric mixer to whip heavy whipping cream (HWC) until it forms stiff peaks.

If you want it to be sweeter, you can use a bit of powdered Swerve to taste before mixing.

This makes an excellent topping for Keto Cakes and Keto Coffee drinks.

Tips and Tricks for Making This High Protein Jello Mousse

  1. Patience. The most important thing about getting this jello mousse recipe right is to be patient and make absolutely sure the gelatin is completely dissolved in the water before you start. If you don't do this, you will have granules in your mousse and that will impact the texture of your bite.
  2. Whisk. Use a flat silicone whisk or a hand blender to aerate this mousse as much as possible for a light and fluffy bite.
  3. Variety. Vary the flavors to get different desserts. In the images above, I used an orange jello, but I love the flavor of strawberry or cherry to create a lovely pink mousse.
  4. Blend well. Blend for plenty of time to aerate the dessert and get a light, airy, mousse-like texture. If it doesn't feel like it's fluffy enough, give the blending a bit longer and it will come together.

How Long Does It Last?

Since this sugar free Jello mousse is homemade, it should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-5 days.

It's always important to use your own judgment and senses to determine whether the sugar free Jello mousse has gone bad. If you notice any signs of spoilage, such as a strange smell or appearance, it's best to discard it.
