Sugar Free Jello Mousse Cups Recipe

Introduction

These Sugar Free Jello Mousse Cups are a light and creamy dessert perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a sweet treat without added sugar. Layered with different flavors and a fluffy mousse texture, they’re both refreshing and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 3 packages Sugar Free Jello
• 1 1/2 cups Boiling Water, divided
• 1 cup Cream Cheese, divided
• 1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whip 1/4 cup of the cream cheese until soft. Slowly add the whipping cream and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. In a saucepan over high heat, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Add one package of jello and stir until completely dissolved.
2. Step 2: Divide the whipped cream into three separate bowls. In a blender, combine the dissolved jello with 1/4 cup of cream cheese and blend until smooth. Slowly fold this jello mixture into one bowl of whipped cream using a mixer until fully combined.
3. Step 3: Pour the jello mousse into 4 cups, trying to keep the sides of the cups clean. Place the cups in the freezer to set.
4. Step 4: Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the remaining two jello flavors, layering each flavor into the cups. Once all three flavors are added, refrigerate the cups for about 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

• Use a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon to layer the mousse carefully to keep clean edges inside the cups.
• For added texture, sprinkle crushed nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips between layers before chilling.
• If cream cheese is too firm, soften it by microwaving for 10-15 seconds to ease mixing.

Storage

Store the mousse cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing for long periods, as the texture may change. Before serving, allow chilled mousse to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for the best flavor and texture.
