Not really.....
Sugar free Jello Brand Gelatin is sweetened with aspartame, which is a sweetener Dr. Atkins said to avoid.
Whipped cream is okay, provided you use unsweetened heavy cream and a legal sweetener. The stuff you buy in cans, typically are sweetened with sugar, corn syrup, and other non-Atkins things.
So if you can buy a gelatin dessert made with a legal sweetener, it would be okay to eat. However, each serving of that gelatin dessert will count towards your 3 daily sweetener allotments. Same thing for the sweetened whipped cream.
Some folks make their own gelatin dessert by following the recipe on the Know unflavored gelatin packet and using a legal sugar substitute and legal flavoring agent.
