Orange Jello Salad - Dairy Free!
This healthy, naturally sweetened orange jello salad is so fun and delicious! We’re taking jello salad, and filling it with extra goodness and nutrition today. Using grass-fed gelatin and adding extra vitamin c into it, along with a dairy-free coconut whip cream – this is not your average orange jello treat!
Ingredients
- 3 cups orange juice
- 2.5 tbsp Perfect Bovine Gelatin
- 1 tbsp Acerola Vitamin C Powder
- 3 tbsp honey, divided (or more if you’d like)
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk (chilled for at least 2 hours in advance)
Instructions
- Before making this easy recipe, place a can of full-fat coconut milk in the fridge for 1-2 hours to let it fully chill.
- Heat a small saucepan or pot over medium-high heat and add 2 cups of orange juice. Bring to a gentle boil, and remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, add 1 cup of orange juice. Mix together the gelatin and Acerola powder, then sprinkle on top of the orange juice. Let the powders dissolve into the juice, or mix them together.
- Pour the hot orange juice into the cold orange juice, and stir to combine, or use a hand mixer. Add 1.5 tbsp honey, and mix until dissolved. Taste to see if you’d like to add a little bit more honey in. Pour into a dish or jello mold and chill in the fridge (it will take about 2 hours for it to set).
- To make the coconut whip cream, take the chilled can of coconut milk out of the fridge. Open, and scoop the firm coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Whip for 1-2 minutes on high, then add the honey and continue to whip until the coconut whip cream is fluffy. Taste the whip to see if you’d like more honey added in. Store in the fridge until you’re ready to use.
- When the orange jello is firm, spread the dairy-free whip cream as the top layer. Top with mandarin oranges if desired. Serve, and enjoy!
