I love jello and I love buttermilk. But, both separately can get boring. So, just yesterday I thought, "hmm... I wonder what would happen if I used buttermilk instead of cold water?" And voila! Jello Fluff was born! Using sugar free jello, each is about 50 calories. The photo is made1:1 water to buttermilk. For a taller clear layer, use more water and less buttermilk, but always keep to the total liquid volume called for by the jello package. Keep in mind, using less buttermilk = a thinner froth layer. (If using juice, don't use citrus as this breaks down the gelatin.)
