2-Ingredient Jello Cups (No-Sugar-Added!)
This cool recipe is quick and easy to make. It’s perfect for a fun snack or light dessert!
Instead of using gelatin (a meat byproduct), this recipe uses the vegan-friendly alternative, Agar agar, which is easily found in grocery stores. Instead of being derived from animal sources, agar
agar comes from red algae. It has no calories, carbohydrates or fat—and no flavor, either.
You can usually find agar agar flakes on the same aisle as seaweed wrappers for making sushi. This recipe calls for flakes (not powder).
