Sugar Free Jello no aspartame

Here is my recipe for SF (aspartame free) Jello...It's easy, flavorful, and has a consistency just like packaged Jello. You will need a 6cup bowl for this recipe.

2 packets unsweetened Kool-Aid
2 packets Knox gelatine
1 tsp liquid Splenda (you may want to experiment w/this amount)
1/4 tsp Stevia powder (I use NOW Stevia Extract)
dash of salt
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water

1. Mix dry ingredients (Kool-Aid, Gelatine, Stevia, salt) til well blended.
2. Add boiling water and stir, stir, stir until everything is completely dissolved...this may take 2 or 3 minutes.
3. Add cold water, stir.
4. Add liquid Splenda, stir. (Note: I have a very large sweet tooth, and I like my stuff really sweet, so you may want to start with 1/2 tsp and adjust to your own taste).
5. Cover & refrigerate overnight.
6. ENJOY!

This makes 4 one cup servings and has 0 carbs and 50 calories for the whole batch.

You can experiment with the sweeteners to suit yourself. You could eliminate the stevia, and just use the liquid splenda, or vice versa...just be sure to taste test before refrigeration.

I use the NOW Stevia Extract because it is a high quality and high rebausiside stevia powder...as recommended by locarbman...and
has a less bitter aftertaste if too much is used.

The reason I use two sweeteners is for the synergistic effect. They work well together for sweetening power and good flavor.
