A creamy and fruity homemade gelatin dessert that is low in calories, perfect for curbing cravings and supporting weight management.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin or collagen powder
  • 1 cup pink-flavored gelatin mix or unsweetened pink fruit juice (e.g., cranberry or diluted strawberry)
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1/2 to 1 cup cold sparkling water or chilled milk alternative
  • Sweetener to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens.

  3. Add the pink base and sweetener: Stir in chilled pink juice and sweetener, achieving a pleasant pastel pink color.
  4. Combine with cold fizzy or creamy element: Gently fold in chilled sparkling water or milk alternative.
  5. Pour into molds or cups and chill: Refrigerate until firmly set, about 2 to 4 hours.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute unflavored gelatin with agar-agar and adjust proportions accordingly. Avoid boiling the water to preserve flavors.
