This wiggly, jiggly, creamy dessert is like a fruity fiesta in your face. And even if you ate half of the bowl of mousse (a HUGE portion!), you'd still take in fewer calories than if you ordered ONE frozen strawberry margarita at a bar. Sweet!
Ingredients:
1 large (8-serving) package JELL-O Sugar Free Strawberry Gelatin Dessert Mix
2 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries, mostly thawed
1 1/2 cups Cool Whip Free, thawed
1 cup cold Sprite Zero (or any diet lemon-lime soda)
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. (2 1/2 oz.) tequila
3 tbsp. lime juice
Directions:
In a medium-large bowl, combine gelatin mix with 1 cup boiling water, and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
In a blender, combine strawberries, soda, tequila, and lime juice. Puree until smooth. Add this mixture to the bowl with the gelatin mixture and stir thoroughly. Refrigerate for 45 minutes, until slightly thickened but not set. (Do not over-refrigerate.)
Using an electric mixer, blend in the Cool Whip. Once mixture appears mostly blended, use a spoon to mix it up from the bottom. If needed, continue mixing until uniform. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until mostly firm. Enjoy!
