Cherry Coke Salad |
Prep Time: 50 min |
1/2 Cup very cold water
3 pkg. Knox® unflavored gelatin
4 Cups flat diet cola *
1 pkg. unsweetened Black Cherry Kool Aid®
3 pkts Splenda®, NutraSweet® or Sweet-N-Low®
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 Cup fresh grated coconut
1/2 Cup chopped celery
1/2 Cup pecans
1. Soften gelatin in cold water for about 2 minutes in a
glass measuring cup. Set cup in the microwave and cook on high for 1 1/2
minutes. Stir well and check to see if you can see through it. If not,
microwave for a few more seconds. Pour into a large bowl. Add flat cola, sweetener,
and Kool-Aid®. Stir until there is no fizz at all.
2. Place 1 cup of this liquid mixture into blender with cream cheese and whip
until the cheese is completely blended. Pour cream cheese mixture back into the
bowl with rest of mixture. Stir to blend. Place in the refrigerator and watch
it for the beginning signs of gelling. Stir occasionally to keep cream cheese
blended. When mixture begins to thicken, add pecans, coconut, and celery. It
should be thick enough to suspend the chopped ingredients at this point. Now is
the time to pour it in an elegant mold if you like. Return to refrigerator and
allow to set firm. Serve with low-carb whipped cream
and/or diced strawberries.
* To flatten cola, pour from bottle or can into glass rapidly and then into
another glass. Go back and forth between glasses until very little 'fizz' is
left
