Lemon Gelatin

Print Recipe

A light and refreshing low-calorie lemon gelatin dessert that helps curb sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3/4 to 1 cup water (or half water, half herbal tea)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Sweetener (sugar, honey, or low-calorie sweetener, to taste)
  • Optional: A pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla

Instructions

  1. Measure and bloom the gelatin. Sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  2. Heat the remaining liquid. Warm 3/4 to 1 cup of water (or half water, half herbal tea) until hot but not boiling, about 150 to 180°F (65 to 82°C), then remove from heat.
  3. Dissolve the gelatin. Stir the bloomed gelatin into the hot water until completely dissolved, about 20 to 30 seconds.
  4. Add lemon and sweetener. Mix in 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and your chosen sweetener, tasting as you go.
  5. Pour into molds or a dish. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or individual ramekins.
  6. Chill until set. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours until the gelatin is firm.
  7. Serve and store. Carefully unmold or serve directly from ramekins; leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
