Can I make these Fourth of July jello cups ahead of time?

Yes! These keto jello cups are perfect to make a day or two in advance. Just keep them covered in the fridge so the layers stay fresh and firm. Wait to add any whipped cream or fruit topping until right before serving.

What’s the best sugar-free gelatin to use for keto jello desserts?

You can use any sugar-free gelatin brand, like JELL-O or store-brand versions. Just check the label to make sure there are no added sugars or hidden carbs. Flavors like strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry work great for Fourth of July colors.

How do I keep the jello layers from mixing together?

The trick is patience. Let each layer chill and fully set before adding the next one. When pouring the next layer, use the back of a spoon to gently spread the liquid so it doesn’t punch through the one below it.
