Instructions:

For the Cream Treat:

1. Prepare the Cream Mixture:

   • In a small saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream and sugar substitute.
   • Slice open the vanilla bean, scraping out all the black vanilla seeds into the cream-sugar mix.
   • Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture begins to boil (about five minutes).
   • Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

2. Incorporate Gelatin:

   • Add the unflavored gelatin to the slightly cooled cream mixture.
   • Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and well mixed.

3. Chill the Treat:

   • Pour the creamy mixture into individual Jell-O molds, one large mold, or even a pie tin.
   • Refrigerate until the mixture sets and becomes delightfully firm.

For the Strawberry Sauce:

1. Simmer the Ingredients:

   • In a saucepan, combine the fresh strawberries, water, and sugar substitute.
   • Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 20 minutes, allowing the water to reduce and the flavors to meld.

2. Strain and Drizzle:

   • Once the strawberries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly, run the mixture through a sieve to remove any solids.
   • The resulting smooth sauce is now ready to drizzle over the chilled cream treat.

Serving Suggestions:

• When you’re ready to serve, generously spoon the strawberry sauce over the creamy dessert.
• For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a fresh strawberry or a sprig of mint.
• Feeling adventurous? Try this sauce recipe with blueberries, raspberries, or any other low-carb or high-carb fruit of your choice!

Recipe Notes:

• This recipe is incredibly versatile and can be easily halved for a smaller batch.
• The cream treat can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Experiment with different fruit variations to create your own signature sauce.
