Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of the water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a saucepan, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of water and the erythritol. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Once the mixture is hot (but not boiling), remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add almond milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetener if needed, keeping in mind that the sweetness may decrease slightly once chilled.
Pour the mixture into molds or a 9x9-inch dish for a simple cut-and-serve presentation.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, let it sit overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the almond jelly and invert onto a plate or, if using a single dish, cut into squares.
Enjoy your refreshing and light low-carb almond jelly as a dessert or a snack!
