Default Where do you find Sugar Free Gelatin with Sucralose? Help!

It's driving me crazy! Everywhere I look I can only find SF Jello Gelatin which has Aspartame. I hear everyone talking about how good Splenda Gelatin and whipped cream is for a dessert.

Please.... where do I get Gelatin with Sucralose sweetener? Is there a name brand??

Heeeeeeeellllllllllllllllpppppp!

Not that I've tried this yet----but I believe if you take unsweetened Kool Aid and add some Knox unflavored/unsweetened gelatin and add some Splenda, you will create a sucralose jello.

I've read some people adding cream cheese or heavy cream to it also.

Maybe someone else here can let us know for sure AND give us the exact measurements.

The only brand of already flavored Gelitin I've heard of is Jolly Rancher Sugar Free. I can only find the regular here, not the sugar free. The unsweetened koolaid, knox and splenda isn't any harder to make then the powdered kind, just a few more ingredients

I've made it like this:

2 packets Knox gelatin
Kool-aid packet for flavor
sweeten with Splenda to taste, 8-10 packets
1 cup cold water, 1 cup hot (follow Knox directions)

This is a bit thick though, and I've heard it's good with just one packet Knox gelatin as well, or use more water. Depends on your preference.

Hope that helps.

Default Sugar-Free Gelatin

I tried the Splenda/Kool-Aid/Knox thing several times and could never get the proportions to suit me. It was either too weak, too strong, not sweet enough, or too "gummy." I recently found this recipe using DaVinci sugar-free syrups, and I haven't tried it yet but I'm anxious to do so.

Combine in a shallow dish:
2/3 cup water
2 packages Knox unflavored gelatine
Stir to mix. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Combine in a large measuring cup or small bowl:
1 cup DaVinci Gourmet Sugarfree syrup (pick your flavor!)
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Microwave until almost boiling. Pour hot syrup mix into softening gelatine and stir well. Place syrup/gelatine mixture in microwave and heat an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir well, being careful to stir all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Repeat heating and stirring for 5 to 8 minutes (until ingredients are completely mixed.) Add lemon juice and stir again. Allow to cool until it reaches room temperature. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.

I make my own - sf koolaid, splenda, knox gelatin mix. I sometimes will add a few cut up berries in the geletin or add some cream for a creamy gelatin dessert.

I was thinking of making this recipe using 1 packet Knox, 1 packet unsweetened koolaid, and liquid Stevia.

Does anyone know about how much stevia would work in this recipe without becoming nasty and bitter? I have the packets, but like to save those for my teas. Since they are considered a suppliment instead of grocery I have a harder time getting them.
