Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixture
- 3 packages Sugar Free Jello (assorted flavors)
- 1 1/2 cups Boiling Water (divided)
- 1 cup Cream Cheese (divided)
Mousse Base
- 1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream
Instructions
- Whip Cream Cheese and Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip 1/4 cup of cream cheese until soft. Slowly add the whipping cream while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy base for the mousse.
- Dissolve Jello: In a saucepan over high heat, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Add one packet of sugar-free jello and stir until completely dissolved for a smooth gelatin base.
- Combine Jello and Cream Cheese: Divide the whipped cream mixture evenly into three bowls. In a blender, combine the dissolved jello with 1/4 cup cream cheese and blend until smooth. Slowly incorporate this jello mixture into one bowl of whipped cream using a mixer, blending until fully combined to create a flavored mousse layer.
- Layer in Cups: Pour the jello mousse mixture into 4 serving cups carefully to avoid getting it on the sides. Place these cups in the freezer briefly to start setting the layer.
- Repeat for Remaining Flavors: Repeat the process of whipping, dissolving jello, blending with cream cheese, and folding into whipped cream for the remaining two jello packets and cream cheese portions. Pour each new mousse layer over the previous layer in the cups to create colorful, layered mousse cups.
- Chill Mousse Cups: Once all three mousse layers are assembled in each cup, place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve, allowing the mousse to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use different flavors of sugar-free jello for colorful layered mousse cups.
- Ensure whipped cream forms stiff peaks for best texture.
- Avoid mixing jello mixture directly when hot to prevent curdling the cream cheese.
- Chill mousse cups well to help them set properly before serving.
- This dessert is suitable for sugar-free and low-calorie diets.
