What it is
This is a powdered dessert mix designed to create a gelatin-based dessert without added sugar. It typically contains gelatin, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, and coloring agents.

To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the packet with boiling water and stir until fully dissolved.
