Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 5/8 cup | Sugar-free cherry gelatin |
| 2 cups | Boiling water |
| 2 cups | Cold water |
| 1 cup | Heavy whipping cream |
| 2 tsp | Almond extract |
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Gelatin:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free cherry gelatin with boiling water.
- Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
2. Add Almond Extract:
- Pour in the cold water and almond extract.
- Give it a gentle stir to incorporate everything evenly.
3. Chill in the Fridge:
- Pop the bowl into the refrigerator and let it chill for about 20 minutes.
- This will help the mixture start to set up a bit.
4. Whip the Cream:
- While the gelatin is chilling, take your heavy whipping cream.
- Whip it up in a separate bowl until you get stiff peaks.
- Pro Tip: Be careful not to overbeat! You want gentle peaks, not whipped butter.
5. Combine Gelatin and Cream:
- Once the gelatin has chilled, retrieve it from the fridge.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- For a Jello-Like Consistency: Simply mix with a spoon until combined.
- For a Fluffier Mousse-Like Texture: Use an electric mixer to blend the cream and gelatin until frothy.
6. Final Chill:
- Transfer the mixture into your desired serving dishes or a single large bowl.
- Pop it back into the refrigerator to chill until fully set.
7. Serve and Enjoy! 🎉
- When ready to serve, garnish with a few fresh cherries or a sprinkle of almond slivers if desired.
- Each spoonful of this Cherry Amaretto Dessert is a delightful balance of creamy, fruity goodness with a hint of almond flavor. 🍒✨
