1/2 cup cold water
3 packages unflavored Knox gelatin
4 cups flat diet cola
1 package unsweetened clack cherry cool aid
1 tablespoon liquid artificial sweetener
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, grated or shredded (fresh or prepackaged)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Using a glass measuring cup, soften the gelatin in the cold water for about 2 minutes, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Microwave the dissolved gelatin on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir well to blend and further dissolve. Pour mixture into a large bowl.
Add the flat diet cola, unsweetened Kool Aid, and the liquid sweetener to the gelatin mixture. Stir the mixture until there is no fizz left at all.
Take 1 cup of the mixture and put it in the blender with the cream cheese. Process until completely blended and smooth. Pour the cream cheese
mixture back into the large bowl with the reserved gelatin mixture and stir it to blend everything thoroughly. Refrigerate until the mixture begins to thicken, stirring occasionally to keep the cream cheese thoroughly incorporated.
When the mixture is thickened (about the consistency of uncooked egg whites), add the remaining ingredients and stir gently to blend. Transfer the mixture to a gelatin mold or pretty serving dish. Place it back in the refrigerator to finish setting up.
When serving, you may garnish this with sweetened whipped cream if you wish. Serves 8 @ 2.41 grams carbohydrates per serving.
