Ingredients
This recipe serves 4 portions, and each serving is 0 SmartPoints (based on the Weight Watchers plan).
Main Ingredients
- Sugar-Free Raspberry Jello Powder: 1 large package (0.6 oz / 17 g)
- Unsweetened Applesauce: 2 cups (homemade or store-bought)
- Boiling Water: 2 cups
Optional Garnishes (Not 0 Points)
- Fat-Free Whipped Cream: 1 tablespoon per serving (1 SmartPoint if added)
- Fresh Berries: 1/4 cup per serving (most fresh fruits are 0 points)

Instructions
Step 1: Boil Water
Begin by boiling 2 cups of water. The water should reach a rolling boil to ensure the Jello powder dissolves completely. This step is key to achieving a smooth and uniform consistency for your dessert.
Step 2: Dissolve the Jello Powder
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the sugar-free raspberry Jello powder. Carefully pour the boiling water over the Jello powder while stirring continuously. Stir for 2–3 minutes until the powder is completely dissolved. Any undissolved powder will affect the texture of the dessert, so take your time with this step.
Step 3: Add the Unsweetened Applesauce
Once the Jello powder has dissolved, slowly add 2 cups of unsweetened applesauce to the bowl. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the applesauce and Jello are fully combined. The applesauce not only adds a natural sweetness but also gives the dessert a velvety texture.
Step 4: Pour into a Dish
Pour the mixture into a medium-sized serving dish or divide it evenly into individual dessert cups, ramekins, or mason jars. This step allows you to customize the presentation depending on your preference.
Step 5: Cover and Chill
Cover the dish or individual cups with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on the surface. Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the dessert to chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Overnight chilling is recommended for the best texture.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once the dessert is set, it’s ready to serve! Scoop or slice the dessert into portions and transfer to serving plates if using a large dish.
Step 7: Add Optional Toppings
For an added touch of indulgence, garnish with a dollop of fat-free whipped cream or a few fresh berries. Remember to calculate any additional points if toppings are added.
