- 16 oz heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp sugar-free flavored gelatin dessert (any flavor)
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 Tbsp preferred nut butter
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 2 cups whole oats
- 1⁄2 cup preferred dried fruit, chopped
- 20 chocolate chips
In a bowl, using a mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream until fluffy; reserve some for topping. Add flavored gelatin powder; mix until well combined, then refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 300 F. In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, cinnamon, sea salt and nut butter. Add nuts and oats; toss to combine. Pour mixture onto a parchment- paper-lined, rimmed baking sheet, then press together before baking.
Bake just until granola starts to brown a little, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven; stir in dried fruit. Allow granola to cool. Layer granola and gelatin–whipped cream mixture into cups; top with dollops of reserved whipped cream and chocolate chips. Makes 2 servings.
