When I get a sweet craving but need to dodge carbs, these Creamy Keto Jello Whips are my favorite fix. They're light as air and super smooth. It takes barely any effort but tastes fancy, thanks to the simple stuff that goes in.
First time I made this, it was after dinner when everyone wanted something sweet but I needed to keep carbs in check. Now I treat myself to this on weekends when I want something creamy that doesn't break the bank on macros.
Dreamy Ingredients
- Swerve Confectioners sweetener: this makes everything blend right in and keeps things good for diabetics
- Heavy whipping cream: get the freshest one you can for max creamy goodness
- Ice water: helps Jello chill quick and start to set
- Boiling water: super important, makes sure your gelatin’s all melted
- Sugar-Free Jello powder: pick your favorite flavor and double check for low carbs and simple ingredients
Usually I grab raspberry or cherry since they taste brightest, but lemon is super cool in the heat. For best texture, grab fresh heavy cream and make sure your Swerve is the fine, powdered kind—it melts right in.
Simple How-To Guide
- Chill and Serve:
- Drop the finished whip into a big dish or smaller bowls, pop it in the fridge for a couple hours so it can set up and the flavors can really blend. It’ll get firmer and taste even better cold.
- Combine and Whip:
- Pour the soft Jello mix into your airy whipped cream and keep whipping until it all looks fluffy and even in color. If it’s streaky, whip a little more.
- Whip the Cream:
- Add heavy cream and Swerve Confectioners to a larger bowl, then mix with a hand mixer until you get good stiff peaks—this is what’ll make it all fluffy.
- Chill the Base:
- Fill up a cup with ice then add enough water to hit the cup line. Pour this over the melted Jello. Stir till the ice goes and it’s cooled and starts to thicken. Scoop out leftover ice if you find any. If you’re using GramZero or a similar brand, use cold water instead of ice water.
- Make the Jello:
- Grab a medium bowl and pour in the sugar-free Jello powder plus boiling water. Stir like crazy till all the powder vanishes—no gritty spots left—so everything sets smooth later.

The best part in my opinion is that mousse-like texture you get once everything’s blended, almost magical. First time I whipped it up was in the middle of a summer heatwave when my daughter asked for ice cream. She actually liked this even more.
Easy Storage Ideas
Keep your Jello whips covered tight in the fridge—they’ll stay just right for a handful of days. Don’t freeze, it messes up the smoothness. If you made them early for a get-together, just give them a quick whip before serving to make them fluffy again.
Ingredient Swap Outs
Swap Swerve for your go-to powdered sweetener—skip anything granular so your dessert stays smooth. Dairy-free? Try coconut whipped topping instead. Boxed Jello is what I grab, but any sugar-free gelatin option works fine too.

Fun Ways To Serve
Dish it up in little bowls or retro sundae glasses, maybe with a dollop of whip or a berry. For parties, I go tiny: shot glasses and mini spoons make it feel special. Layered over fresh berries? Also awesome as a parfait.
Warm Traditions
Jello treats mean comfort food to a lot of Americans, bringing back lots of family memories. This version gives those good vibes a keto-friendly twist so you get all the joy without the sugar load.
