👉INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup mixed dried fruits (such as apricots, dates, raisins, figs, or prunes), chopped into small pieces
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- Optional: chopped nuts or seeds for added texture and crunch
👉INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the Dried Fruits:
Chop the dried fruits into small, bite-sized pieces. You can use a combination of your favorite dried fruits to add variety and flavor to the dessert.
Hydrate the Gelatin:
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/2 cup of cold water. Allow the gelatin to bloom for about 5 minutes. This step ensures that the gelatin will dissolve smoothly without forming lumps.
Heat the Remaining Water:
In a saucepan, heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. You want the water to be hot but not boiling.
Dissolve the Gelatin:
Once the water is hot, add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Combine with Dried Fruits:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped dried fruits with the gelatin mixture. Stir well to ensure that all the fruits are evenly coated with the gelatin.
Optional:
Add Nuts or Seeds: If desired, you can add chopped nuts or seeds to the mixture for added texture and crunch. Stir them in until evenly distributed.
Set the Dessert:
Pour the fruit and gelatin mixture into a shallow dish or individual molds. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
Chill and Allow to Set:
Place the dish or molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the dessert is fully set and firm to the touch.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once set, remove the dessert from the refrigerator. If using a dish, you can cut it into squares or slices. If using molds, gently unmold the desserts onto a serving plate.
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy your sugar-free energy dessert whenever you need a wholesome and satisfying treat!
This recipe yields a delicious and nutritious sugar-free dessert that's perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while providing a natural energy boost. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite dried fruits and additional toppings to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!!
