That sounds delicious, but how many portions does that make? Would cream do instead of milk?

I posted this in birthday dinner thread it's a good pud as well.
I make a very low carb pud when I need something sweet. It's called fluffy pudding. Take 1 sugar free jelly and make up to 1/2 pint with boiling water. While this is cooling a bit take 1 small tin of evaporated milk (170g) and whip up till it's at least 3 times in size and quite thick. Slowly add the jelly beating all the time and till well mixed. Put in fridge to set and it will serve at least 4 people. At only 1.5 grams of carbs per portion it's not bad and it tastes great. I will have 1 portion and my non diabetic husband has the other three portions just to save me you understand.

@Bluetit1802 I do something similar, but without the strawberries and cream works just fine. I make up a sugar free jelly with half a pint of boiling water, then add half a pint of cold water followed by 300 mls of double cream. Stir well and allow to cool before putting in fridge to set. Easily enough for 5 portions.

Hi @Ann1982 - used to make this years ago it is lovely but can I ask which brand of condensed milk you are using as a 170g can of Carnation is 12g carb per 100g which makes a can just over 20g carb so makes a portion just over 5g carb rather than 1.5 you have quoted. Is there a lower carb can - I do hope so

 

[Ann1982]

Aargh! I really need to wear my specs! Oh well I will just need to take a smaller portion. It was evaporated milk but you are right about the carbs although I did use a brand years ago that had lower carbs but can't remember the name of it. ( old age does not come by itself!)

Or use cream instead- just as good

Who tried it? is it tasty? Finally a desert I can make!

I've made a similar dessert in the past with ordinary jelly and Greek yogurt. Have yet to try it with sugar free jelly. I would make it half and half.

I've just made this dessert with sugar free jelly. Half the pack of crystals made up to a little under half a pint. Add about 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt and whisk Allow to set in fridge. Makes about three quarters of a pint. Because the yogurt is unsweetened, it doesn't taste over sweet.
(Why do artificial sweeteners make everything taste so sweet? Surely they could put less sweetener in.)
