The recipe for this very low-sugar dessert comes from my daughter. Its texture is light as a cloud and its taste is perfect for coffee lovers. -Vernette Dechaine of Pittsfield, Maine Ingredients:
1 envelope unflavored gelatin |
1/4 cup cold water |
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules |
1/4 cup boiling water |
sugar substitute equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar |
2 ice cubes |
2 cups plus 4 tablespoons reduced-fat whipped topping, divided |
additional coffee granules, crushed |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 2 minutes. In a small saucepan, dissolve coffee granules in boiling water. Add gelatin mixture; cook and stir just until gelatin is dissolved (do not boil).
2. Remove from the heat; stir in sugar substitute. Add ice cubes; stir until ice is melted and mixture begins to thicken. Transfer to a large bowl; add 2/3 cup whipped topping. Beat until blended. Fold in 1-1/3 cups whipped topping.
3. Spoon into four individual serving dishes; top each with 1 tablespoon whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Just before serving, dust with crushed coffee granules. Yield: 4 servings.
