Ingredients
  

For the gelatin base

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar-free gelatin (flavor of choice)
  • 1 cup protein powder (optional, for high-protein version) Use one that dissolves well in liquids.

For garnish (optional)

  • Fresh fruit or berries For topping; use whatever you have on hand.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Boil 1 cup of water in a saucepan.
  • Remove from heat and dissolve the sugar-free gelatin in the hot water, stirring until fully dissolved.
  • If using, add the protein powder and mix until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into individual molds or a dish and give the pan a gentle tap to remove air bubbles.

Chilling

  • Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or until set.
  • Cover loosely if you are worried about fridge smells.

Serving

  • Once set, serve with fresh fruit or berries on top if desired.
  • Run a warm knife around the edge to help unmold if needed.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Freezing is possible but not ideal, as texture changes once thawed.
