White Gelatin

ChubbyBunny

Okay, I don't LOVE jello.... BUT I have been known to make it on occasion for my family.
Some reviewers said that they do not like the cream cheese taste so they substituded 75% ricotta and 25% cream cheese. It gave it an even lighter taste. Also, it's very versitile... top with fruit, colored sugars, serve in individual parfait dishes, etc. In the picture they used a jello mold/bunt pan.

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup boiling water
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and well blended. In a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in boiling water. Stir into the cream cheese mixture along with the milk, lemon juice and vanilla. Fold in the whipped topping. Pour into a mold if desired, and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

this sounds interesting. I like the idea that it's white and then the colors of fruit.
I'd like to try it with 75% mascarpone cheese and 25% cream cheese. I don't care for ricotta in deserts but mascarpone I love!

:noway: how can someone not like cream cheese??? :smokin:

It looks good, but I'm not sure fluff and fruit should be 141 cals and 9 grams of fat...although I did notice some substitutions could be made...perhaps light on the cream cheese and whipped topping and low fat or skim on the milk...wonder what the numbers would look like then...:huh:

Once again, I pull the numbers from the sites.
I haven't re-calculated them on my own or for changes others make.

As with most recipes a HUGE factor is the type and brand of products used, because that will vary the recipe. I fiddled with Sparkpeople and this recipe and the calorie range could go from 130 cals (1% milk, regular cream cheese, lite cool whip, etc) to 105 cals (nonfat milk, light cream cheese, etc...) so there is a big variance on what you use.
