Begin by peeling and pitting fresh mangoes. Blend them until smooth to make 1.5 cups of mango puree. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to ensure it is smooth and free of fibers.
In a small saucepan, combine the unflavored gelatin powder with 1 cup of cold water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Be careful not to let it boil.
Once the gelatin is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the erythritol until fully dissolved as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango puree with the gelatin mixture. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Pour the mango mixture into individual serving dishes or a large mold of your choice.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.
Serve the low carb mango jelly cold and enjoy as a refreshing low-carb dessert. Optionally, you can garnish with fresh mint leaves or a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream for extra flair.
