Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet (0.3 oz) Sugar-free orange gelatin mix
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Canned mandarin oranges (no sugar added, drained and chopped)
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar-free orange gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin and stir to combine. Set aside to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
In a separate medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese while continuing to beat the mixture on low speed until fully combined. This will create a creamy, smooth base with no lumps.
In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered erythritol and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the gelatin-cream cheese mixture until evenly blended.
Fold in the chopped mandarin oranges, being careful not to overmix to maintain the fluffy texture.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set and chilled.
Before serving, garnish with shredded coconut if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
