Yesterday I modified one of my sister-in-law's recipes that is a family favorite, and it turned out a smashing success! I know the cheese on top sounds a little weird (I was skeptical the first time I had even the high-carb version), but it's SOOO good, and has only 5.33 grams of carbs per serving (less than 2g if you leave out the fruit).

INGREDIENTS
3 c. heavy (whipping) cream
2 packets Splenda
2 3-oz. boxes of sugar free orange gelatin
1 can tangerine Diet Rite
1 small can mandarin oranges in lite syrup (about 1 cup)
1 small can pineapple chunks in lite syrup (about 1 cup)*
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
water
ice cubes

*NOTE: You cannot substitute fresh pineapple. Gelatin will not set with fresh pineapple in it.

DIRECTIONS
Boil two cups of water and pour over gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Add ice cubes and Diet Rite to make two cups, and stir into gelatin until ice is melted. Refrigerate. In the meantime, drain fruit in a colander in the sink. Rinse the fruit. (This will remove as much sugar as possible.) In an ice-cold bowl, whip the cream with the Splenda. Refrigerate. When the gelatin is partially set, mix in the fruit, then fold in half of the whipped cream. Spread into a flat container. (I use an 8 x 11 Tupperware container.) Refrigerate until set. Spread top with remaining whipped cream and sprinkle with cheese. Mmm, mmm, good. Makes 12 largish servings.
