Cranberry Gelatin Salad

Sun, 20 Jul 2003 20:03:43 -0400

My Aunt "T" gave me this simple recipe because she made it for all the family get togethers and I had nothing to make on year. We used "sugar free" as her husband is a diabetic and he ate this as his dessert. I am sure there is a lot of room for other combo's here too. -- posted by Marlee Logan

Jello Grasshopper Pie

Thu, 24 Feb 2005 20:00:07 -0500

An easy, great looking and tasting pie. It looks like an odd combination but it really is very good! This is a recipe from Kraft. I use sugar free jello and usually omit the drizzled chocolate, which lowers the carbs for diabetics. -- posted by LUv 2 BaKE

Strawberry Cream Cake

Mon, 16 May 2005 11:50:38 -0400

DH is diabetic and I was looking a different cake for him to enjoy without to much guilt. This recipe comes from kraftfood.com. The only thing I did was cut the recipe in half, make it in a 6-inch sprinform pan and use chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet baking chocolate. If you don't have a 6-inch pan you can use an 8 inch cake pan or tart pan. -- posted by PaulaG

Healthy Mandarin Orange Dessert

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 09:44:49 -0400

Except for the light whipped topping and the juice from the pineapple, this is almost sugar free. I got this from a Weight Watchers recipe swap. My kids inhale this stuff when I make it which is fine with me since they're getting some fruit and dairy in every serving, but they just think it's a sweet treat!

Custard Cream Mousse I

Wed, 21 Dec 2005 09:16:18 -0500

This recipe came from a Japanese cooking site, www.cookpad.com. It originally called for whipping cream, but I substituted it with 150g of Cool Whip and with 50g of sugar, one egg yolk instead of two, and only 120mL of soymilk. 50g of sugar is too sweet to my taste, adjust sweetness to your liking. Also, I added white sesame paste (nerigoma, not tahini). I used a bit more gelatin than the recipe called for because I ALWAYS get gelatin stuck in the cup that I soften it in. If diabetic, try with artificial sweetner -- posted by dcwang wang

Lime Jello Cabbage Salad

This Jello salad is a tradition in our family to serve with ham or pork. It has shredded cabbage and carrots in it which give it a nice crunch. My Mom always served it when I was a kid and she can't remember where she got the recipe from. My kids love it. You can make with with regular or sugar free jello. -- posted by Pam-I-Am

Diabetic Raspberry Jello Dessert Squares

Sun, 01 Jan 2006 21:25:36 -0500

My favorite flavor Jell-o is either raspberry or cherry, I can't decide. This dessert is so easy and really cheap, that it don't matter what flavor Jello you use. I also like the shortbread crust with a twist: brown sugar! And it's fancy enough for company and cheap and easy enough for a Monday night dinner dessert. I guess that's why it's one of my favorite desserts. See my notes at the bottom about making this recipe diabetic friendly. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Those of you have have an abundance of strawberries or cherries, might find this a good way to use them. If you're looking for a low carb/sugar, dessert this could be converted to one using a nut crust, sugar-free pudding mix, and sugar-free Cool Whip(or whipped cream). -- posted by Nana Lee

Peaches Velvetene

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 09:27:48 -0400

This I developed for my mother to satisfy her sweet tooth but not upset her diabetes. You can make it in one large bowl or as individual serves in parfait glasses and if you want to be a little decadent you could add grande marnier (or other orange flavoured liqueur) to the ricotta cream instead of the reserved juice. You could also try other combinations of fruit and jelly. Have not included setting/refrigerator time. The jelly packet I use (Australian) requires 500ml (2 cups) of liquid to make. Jelly in Australia is a geletine based product I believe similar to the American Jello (you may want to check how much liquid you need to set yours and adjust accordingly, the packet I use needs 500ml (2 cups) for a 9 gram sachet) -- posted by I'mPat

Diet Green Tea Lemon Jello

Tue, 01 May 2007 15:13:25 -0400

I'm dieting, ugh, and for a treat I've been having Sugar Free Jello. After reading about green tea and how it is supposed to boost your metabolism I thought I'd try to incorporate tea into my diet. Who knows if it works? This is one tasty idea I've had. If you like strong tea then steep the bag longer or use 2 tea bags. I also divvy it into serving sizes using custard cups, but any small vessel will do, I've used coffee cups, too. Cook time is chill time. -- posted by AustinMama

Old Smoothie

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:27:44 -0400

Delicious Jello dessert. Favorite in our family and when I take it to work, it is a big hit. Easy to make, although there is some waiting to "jell" time. So, prepare ahead for a special occasion or everyday meal, or special treat snack. I use "sugar free" alternative jello for my diabetic husband. He love this. -- posted by Chef #363730

Jello Whip

Fri, 16 May 2008 03:01:24 -0400

TIPS: 1> The water must be rolling boil hot. Otherwise the gelatin will not dissolve quick enough. I use a Pyrex measuring cup and the microwave. 2> Unless you want "gummy yarn", the whipped topping must be completely thawed. I thaw it out in the fridge for a couple of days before making. (a half frozen center can spell disaster). 3> Be prepared to move fast. This stuff sets very quickly. (IE: have your mixer ready, spatula handy, dish ready) 4> This is actually diabetic friendly (although not sugar free). 5> You can mix different flavor gelatins and fruit for a wide variety of flavors. -- posted by zippyriver

Raspberry Torte

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:16:05 -0400

I loved this recipe as a child and still do today! This is a great sugar-free recipe. Strawberry flavored gelatin may be substituted for the raspberry flavor. 1. Line a 9" by 13" pan with graham crackers (one layer). 2. Stir together the applesauce and gelatin. Mix well. 3. Spread the applesauce mixture in a very thin layer on the graham crackers. Cover with thin layer of whipping cream. 4. Repeat steps 1-4 three (3) times. 5. Refrigerate for 3 - 4 hours before serving. -- posted by Thyme_to_Cook

Sugar-Free Strawberry "shortcake" Dessert

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:29:58 -0400

This is sooooo easy and light - and YUMMY!! For the 4th, I added the layers of blueberries and blue Jello, but I usually just use strawberries. When I got this recipe, it called for regular cakes and Jello, but because there are some diabetics in my family, I tried using the sugar-free angel food cakes (Walmart) and Jello - no one can tell the difference. Everyone loves it and because it is so easy to do, it is one of my all-time favorites! The recipe as follows is for a 9 X 13 pan. -- posted by Eileen G.
