INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
CREAM CHEESE:
- We utilize cream cheese, as it creates the floating cubes and creamy texture in this dessert. As a substitute, you can use mascarpone cheese or full-fat ricotta cheese.
EVAPORATED MILK:
- We use keto-friendly evaporated milk to provide creaminess and a smooth consistency. Instead, you can use unsweetened heavy cream diluted with water or unsweetened almond milk mixed with heavy cream.
CONDENSED MILK:
- Keto condensed milk delivers sweetness and richness to this no-bake dessert. As a replacement, you can use homemade keto condensed milk made with heavy cream, butter, and erythritol or allulose.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract improves the flavor and gives an aroma to the dessert. Vanilla powder or its bean paste can be used as another option.
UNFLAVORED GELATIN POWDER:
- We utilize unflavored gelatin powder to help the cream layer set properly and maintain its shape. As an alternative, you can use agar-agar powder.
SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY GELATIN:
- Sugar-free strawberry gelatin provides the fruity flavor and vibrant color. You can replace it with sugar-free raspberry, cherry, or mixed berry gelatin.
WATER:
- Water is used to bloom and dissolve the gelatin properly. Alternatively, you can use filtered water or mineral water.

- Put the vanilla, evaporated milk, cream cheese, and condensed milk into a blender.
- Blend them perfectly for about two minutes till it gives a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
- Include the melted grenetine in a liquid mixture and whisk it till it is completely integrated.
- Use butter to coat a round mold and pour the white mixture.
- Chill it for about three hours till the white jelly is fully curved and firm.
- We dissolve two envelopes strawberry flavored jello in four cups of hot water.
- And whisk it perfectly for about three minutes.
- Include two cups of cold water and leave it to cool till it is hot to get a floating effect.
