Variations: 

You can also add fruit to this once it is all mixed together. 

You can also make a diet jelly/jello as a base and top it with this mixture - looks great in individual sundae dishes.

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:
1 sugar free/diet jelly/jello
quarter to a third of a 400ml tin (12-14oz can) of non fat/light evaporated milk

Directions:
Slimmer's Flummery

Make a diet jelly/jello according to directions. Put it in a large bowl.
Refrigerate a 400gm (12 oz) tin/can of non-fat or light evaporated milk
When the jelly is partly set, (thick but still will run off a spoon), whip it up until it is about two-three times the volume, about 3-5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, pour in about a quarter to a third of the evaporated milk. Beat this up until it it is the consistency of whipped cream. You can use all the evaporated milk for more volume and a creamier dessert, but this adds calories.
Pour this into the jelly/jelly and mix together.
Put into the refrigerator to set.
It is as light as a feather, so not a lot of substance, but tastes delicious, and okay even if you end up eating the whole bowl yourself.

Variations:

You can also add fruit to this. I made a raspberry jelly/jello and dropped in some fresh raspberries just before I put it back in the refrigerator - yum yum.

You can also make a diet jelly/jello as a base and top it with this mixture.
