Creamy Keto Jello Whips offer a luscious, tangy treat that fits perfectly into low-carb and ketogenic lifestyles. Sugar-free Jello is dissolved in boiling water, then chilled with ice, creating a soft set base. Heavy whipping cream and sweetener are beaten until stiff peaks form, then gently folded together with the softly set Jello for a velvety, airy finish.

Creamy Keto Jello Whips have become my go-to solution for those times I’m craving something sweet yet want to keep my carbs low. Silky smooth and satisfyingly light this dessert whips up in a flash and feels far more indulgent than you’d ever guess from the ingredients list.

The first time I made this was after dinner when my whole family wanted dessert but the carb count needed to stay low. Now it is my weekend treat whenever I want a creamy dessert without blowing my macros.

Ingredients

  • Sugar-Free Jello powder: opt for any flavor you love, check labels for lowest carb and cleanest ingredients
  • Boiling water: important for fully dissolving the gelatin
  • Ice water: chills the Jello fast to help it set quickly
  • Heavy whipping cream: for a rich creamy texture, go for the freshest cream you can find
  • Swerve Confectioners sweetener: blends smoothly with cream and keeps dessert diabetic friendly

I often grab cherry or raspberry Jello as their flavors pop the most, but lemon is a great pick in summer. For best results, use freshly opened cream and make sure your Swerve is confectioners style so it dissolves fully.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Jello:
In a medium bowl, stir the sugar-free Jello powder into boiling water. Keep stirring until the powder is completely dissolved and no grit remains. This ensures the dessert will set smoothly with no pockets of undissolved gelatin.
Chill the Base:
Fill a one cup measure with ice and top up with water to equal one cup. Add this cold mix into the dissolved Jello. Stir until the ice melts and the mix cools down and begins to set. Scoop out any unmelted ice cubes before moving to the next step. If using a brand like GramZero skip the ice and use plain cold water.
Whip the Cream:
In a large mixing bowl whip the heavy cream and Swerve Confectioners with an electric mixer. Whip for several minutes to stiff peaks as this will give your whip its signature creamy fluffiness.
Combine and Whip:
Pour the soft set Jello mixture into the whipped cream. Continue to whip with the electric mixer until the two are completely blended and airy. The color should be even and the texture smooth with no streaks.
Chill and Serve:
Spoon the finished Jello whip into custard cups or a medium bowl. Refrigerate at least two hours for best texture. The dessert firms up as it chills and the flavor develops.

My favorite part of this recipe is the magical texture you get when the Jello and whipped cream combine, almost like mousse. The first time I made it was actually on a hot summer day when my daughter wanted “ice cream“ but we had none in the house. She thought this tasted even better.

Storage Tips

Store your Jello whips covered tightly in the fridge. The texture stays perfect for about three days. Avoid freezing as that ruins the creamy consistency. If making ahead for a party give it a quick whisk before serving to fluff it back up.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can switch the Swerve for another powdered sweetener you trust just avoid anything granular or your whip will turn out grainy. If you need dairy free try a coconut based whipped topping. The boxed Jello brand is the classic but any sugar free gelatin works fine.

Serving Suggestions

Serve in small bowls or vintage sundae glasses with a swirl of whipped cream or a berry on top. For parties I serve in little shot glasses with tiny spoons as a fun treat. This is also delicious layered over fresh berries for a parfait effect.

Cultural or Historical Context

Jello desserts have a special place in American home cooking especially as a nostalgic comfort food. This version brings the tradition into the Keto era letting you enjoy big flavor with modern health in mind.

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: American

Yield: 4 Servings (4 individual cups)

Dietary: Low-Carb, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free

Ingredients

→ Whip Base

01 1 box (8.5 g) sugar-free gelatin dessert mix, any flavor
02 180 ml boiling water
03 240 ml ice water

→ Cream Mixture

04 240 ml heavy whipping cream
05 13 g Swerve Confectioners sweetener

Instructions

Step 01

In a medium bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in boiling water, stirring continuously until fully dissolved.

Step 02

Fill a 240 ml measuring cup with ice, then add cold water to fill to the 240 ml mark. If using GramZero gelatin, use 240 ml cold water only.

Step 03

Add the ice water to the dissolved gelatin and stir until cooled and the ice cubes are mostly melted. Remove any unmelted ice. Allow the gelatin to begin soft setting while proceeding.

Step 04

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sweetener using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 05

Gradually whip the soft set gelatin mixture into the whipped cream until homogenous and fluffy.

Step 06

Spoon the Jello whip mixture evenly into 4 serving dishes or one medium bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.

Notes

  1. For GramZero brand gelatin, substitute the ice water step with an equal volume of cold water only.
  2. For a shortcut, replace whipped cream and sweetener with sugar-free whipped topping and omit the whipping step. This increases carbohydrates per serving.
