Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of Jell-O?
Yes, you can experiment with other flavors of sugar-free Jell-O, such as strawberry or tropical fruit, to create a different taste. Just remember that the overall flavor will change accordingly, so choose a flavor that complements your palate.
Is there a non-dairy option for this recipe?
For a non-dairy version, you can use a plant-based cream cheese alternative and coconut cream in place of the whipping cream. Make sure to check that the Jell-O you use is dairy-free, as some brands may contain casein.
