Sugar Free Jello Frosting
I love that the unique taste that jello adds to anything.
However, this is even more true about something like frosting.
Using a box of gelatin as an ingredient works really well.
Not only do you get the taste from the gelatin flavor, you also get a color. Thus, gelatin can add a lot to any recipe.
Obviously, you will need a box of gelatin for this recipe.
While the manufacturer of that jello may not be all that important, the flavor and color is. You can find a great variety of sugar free jello colors and flavors online.

I’m sorry but I get very frustrated when a recipe calls to use a special attachment or tool to make a recipe. I can’t afford these specialized mixers etc; Could you give a basic use alternative for providing the same results? It would be so appreciated. An example would folding in with a spatula be the same?

Good point as I have been that person as well. Thank you!
