INGREDIENTS

  • 5 package (1 oz) Gelatin Powder (Unsweetened)
  • 1 cup Red Raspberries
  • 10 tbsp Xylitol
  • 0 7/48 pinch Stevia
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 6 tsp Lemon Zest

DIRECTIONS

Note:  The quantity of gelatin can be increased by 1-2 teaspoons in each layer of this recipe if a firmer texture is desired.  Follow all other directions as written.
 
  1. Bloom 4 1/2 teaspoons (2 packets) gelatin in 1 cup cool water for 1 minute.  Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water and stir to dissolve gelatin.  Set aside. 
  2. Puree raspberries with 4 tablespoons xylitol and a pinch of stevia.  Add 1/2 cup of water and strain out the seeds (optional); add additional red food coloring if desired.  Combine with the gelatin mixture and pour into a 9x13-inch cake pan and put in the refrigerator until set; about 1 hour.  
  3. Bloom 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) gelatin in 1/2 cup cool water for 1 minute.  Add 1/2 cup boiling water and stir to dissolve gelatin.  Add the lemon zest and set aside.  Using a blender beat the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons xylitol in a medium bowl until fluffy.  Slowly add the gelatin mixture and continue to beat until smooth.  Add 1 tsp lemon extract (optional) and set aside.  
  4. Whip the cream into stiff peaks adding a pinch of stevia.  Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended.  Pour over the raspberry gelatin layer and put back in the refrigerator for 1 hour.  
  5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the blueberries.  Add additional blue food coloring if desired.  Pour this over the cream cheese layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  Using a cookie cutter, cut out the shapes desired or simply cut into 12 equal portions; garnish with additional berries if desired.  Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.  Can be made up to 3 days ahead.  Refrigerate leftovers for up to one week.
