Time 32m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5/8 ounce sugar-free cherry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 cups ice cold water
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons almond extract

Steps:

  • Make the gelatin according to package directions: add boiling water to gelatin and mix until completely dissolved.
  • Add the cold water and almond extract.
  • Chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Whip the cream till stiff.
  • Be careful not to overbeat (it becomes whipped butter. Instead you want gentle peaks).
  • Add the whipping cream to the gelatin.
  • For a stiffer, jello-like consistency simply mix with a spoon.
  • For a flufflier consistency more like light mousse, use an electric mixer and mix the cream with the jello until frothy.
  • Chill until set.
