Layered Rainbow Jello That’s Keto Friendly

These keto jello cups have fancy rainbow layers. Each color gets two layers: a regular sugar free jello layer and a creamy sugar free jello layer.

I am telling you, the sour cream really makes this jello go beyond just jiggly flavored gelatin! The sour cream layers really are my favorite.

A lot of people ask whether sugar free jello is keto friendly. So much so that I actually wrote a whole article: Is Sugar Free Jello Keto Friendly? Check it out if you’re curious!

Keto Rainbow Sugar Free Jello Cups Tips

  • At one point in the recipe, you’ll be instructed to split the jello liquid in half. For easy pouring, I’ve found that it’s best to split the mixture into two glass measuring cups. If you have two of these or something similar, that will make pouring less messy and more precise!
  • Depending on your size of cup, you will need to adjust the amount of liquid you pour in. Thinner layers are better since these cups have 12 layers.
  • The sour cream jello mixture tends to take longer to set, so allow it about 15-20 minutes. The plain jello mixture takes about 8-10 minutes to set in the fridge.
  • When putting the gelatin cups in the fridge to set, I recommend using a cookie sheet with a silicone mat on it. This prevents slippage while transporting the cups. When the cups slip too much, some of the jello mixture can splash or spread to the sides of the glass cups, ruining the rainbow effect of the dessert.
  • For an extra pretty effect, you can add a dollop of sugar free whipped cream and some sugar free sprinkles to top off your keto rainbow layered jello! You can also make your own sprinkles.

    How did you create the color blue? I can’t find blue sugar free hello anywhere

      Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of places that sell it. This link is the only place I’ve found it. Jello brand doesn’t carry it, but a lot of grocery store brands do, so you could just check a few of your local grocery stores. But you can also leave out the blue and do 5 colors instead. Or if you can find a transparent unflavored instant gelatin, just add whatever flavoring you want and blue food coloring. Enjoy! I love these jello cups so much! https://www.hy-vee.com/grocery/PD1973688/Hy-Vee-Sugar-Free-Berry-Blue-Gelatin-Dessert

    You only use one cup of boiling water per pack of jello?

    • Jenn May 26, 2021 at 8:36 am - Reply

      Yes! This ends up being a thicker version of jello, kind of like jigglers. Less liquid added also aids in helping the layers set faster, so the dessert isn’t taking you all day to make. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.
