Recipe Introduction
Per serving: 11g carbohydrates; 0g fiber; 9g protein; 1.5g fat; 90 calories
List of Ingredients
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup splenda granular
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
8 ounces low-fat plain yogurt
1 egg white, pasteurized
3/4 cup light whipped topping* (like Cool Whip) Recipe
Place the gelatin in a small saucepan. Add 1/3 cup of the lemon juice and let stand for three minutes. Place on low heat and add remaining 1/3 cup of lemon juice, Splenda, zest and food coloring if desired. Heat for three to four minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. Stir occasionally so mixture does not gel.
Puree cottage cheese and yogurt until completely smooth (like sour cream). Whisk puree into the lemon-gelatin mixture. Place mixture in the refrigerator to cool, whisking occasionally to prevent lumps.
Beat the egg white to stiff peaks. Fold into the cooled lemon mixture. Fold in light whipped topping. Refrigerate. Makes six servings.
* Light whipped topping adds 2g carbohydrates but eliminates 4g of fat and helps to smooth the flavor. To further cut carbs, replace it with 3/4 cup whipped heavy cream sweetened with 1 tablespoon Splenda.
