2 cups cold, unsweetened applesauce (or low-calorie applesauce)

Sprinkle gelatine on cold water in saucepan to soften. Place over medium heat, stirring constantly until gelatine is dissolved, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sweetener and ice cubes, until cubes melt. Stir in lemon juice and applesauce. Beat with rotary beater until light. Turn into serving dishes.
