Raspberry Jell-O mixed with hot water and applesauce sets with frozen raspberries, then topped with a layer of sour cream and marshmallows for a chilled, two-toned dessert salad.
Frosted Rasberry Salad has a medium glycemic load of 19.3 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.
The primary glycemic load contributors are raspberry gelatin dessert mix, dry (GL 11.9), mini marshmallows (GL 5.6), applesauce, unsweetened (GL 1.0). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
