This dessert is beautiful and decorative. It will be a great fit for the Christmas and holiday season or simply just for weekend parties.
It is very easy to prepare but requires a little patience. Basically, you need to prepare three different gelatin layers: red, green and white.
You can choose the color of your preference. We choose red and green to give it a Christmas touch.
This Christmas jelly is the perfect gift or festive dish to bring to a party. You can proudly announce that this dish is sugar-free, which is suitable for anyone looking to lose weight or steady their blood sugar levels.
This dish will be in high demand around the holidays when Christmas treats are abundant. Many people give into temptation during this time and their diet suffers because of it.
Our recipe uses erythritol to sweet the jelly, which travels through the digestive system virtually untouched and therefore does not impact blood sugar levels when used in reasonable amounts.
We use gelatin to make this dessert. Some people might use sugar-free Jell-O. If you were to use Jell-O, then you won’t need gelatin, artificial flavor, and food coloring.
You can also use a keto-friendly gelatin that comes from grass-fed, pasture-raised sources raised without antibiotics or hormones. If you use packaged Jell-O, then make sure it is unsweetened with no added sugar alcohols.

When the mixtures cool, add in cold water. Stir and transfer to a rectangular container. Put the jellies in the fridge for 3 hours to firm up.
When firm, remove the jellies from the mold and slice into cubes.
Prepare the jelly cream by boiling water and melting four packs of gelatin in it. Pour heavy cream in and stir.
Add the jelly cubes to a Christmas wreath shaped container and pour the cream over top. Put in the fridge for 4 hours.
