Instructions
Prepare the gelatin dessert according to the package instructions, but omit any sugar. Allow it to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once set, cut the gelatin into small cubes.
In a small saucepan, mix coconut milk, almond milk, and erythritol sweetener. Warm over low heat, stirring until the erythritol has completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
In a medium bowl, combine shredded coconut, chia seeds, and almonds. Mix well.
In each serving glass, layer the crushed ice to about 1/3 of the glass.
Add a layer of the chia seed, coconut, and almond mixture over the ice.
Next, add a mix of chopped fresh strawberries and mango.
Place a layer of gelatin cubes on top.
Pour the cooled coconut and almond milk mixture over these layers until it reaches near the top of the glass.
Drizzle with a small amount of ube extract for added flavor and color.
Top each glass with a scoop of low carb ube ice cream or sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
For garnish, add more fresh fruit if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade low carb Halo-Halo!
