How to Make Cherry Amaretto Dessert Low Carb

  1. Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 (1 ounce) package of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of boiling water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften completely.
  2. Stir until dissolved: Gently stir the gelatin mixture until it is completely dissolved and smooth.
  3. Add flavor: Stir in 1/4 cup cold water and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the gelatin to begin setting.
  5. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  6. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled gelatin mixture.
  7. Choose your consistency: For a firmer, jello-like consistency, gently fold the mixtures together with a spoon. For a fluffier mousse, use an electric mixer on low speed until just combined and slightly frothy.
  8. Add cherries: Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries (if frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained).
  9. Set: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert is completely set.
  10. Serve chilled: Enjoy your delicious low-carb Cherry Amaretto Dessert!
