Instructions
-
Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:
Begin by dissolving 2 packets of plain gelatin in 1 cup of cold water. Stir the mixture well to ensure that the gelatin is completely dissolved and there are no lumps. -
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Splenda sugar substitute with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened Kool-Aid powder. Pour in 2 cups of boiling water and stir until the mixture is thoroughly dissolved. -
Incorporate the Gelatin:
Add the prepared gelatin mixture to the bowl with the Kool-Aid and Splenda mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well combined. -
Cool the Mixture:
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the mixture. Stir for about 1 minute to help the mixture cool down and start setting. -
Chill and Set:
Remove any unmelted ice cubes from the bowl. You can either place the bowl in the refrigerator or pour the mixture into individual serving dishes, which is a great way to control portions and keep everyone from diving into the bowl! Refrigerate until the jello is fully set. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once set, serve the Atkin’s Friendly Jello on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream sweetened with a bit of Splenda for an extra touch of indulgence.
