Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 1 box (6 oz) strawberry Jello gelatin (or your favorite flavor)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups Greek Yogurt (whole milk preferred, vanilla or plain)
Optional Garnishes
- Whipped cream or Cool Whip whipped topping
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl, add the gelatin powder and pour in the boiling water. Stir continuously for about two minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Combine Yogurt: Whisk in the Greek yogurt into the dissolved gelatin mixture until it is well combined and smooth.
- Add Cold Water: Pour in the cold water and stir gently to mix without creating too many bubbles.
- Prepare to Chill: Transfer the mixture into 8 individual serving dishes, each approximately 6 oz in capacity, or pour into a medium-sized serving bowl.
- Chill: Cover the dishes or bowl and refrigerate until fully set, approximately 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries or other preferred garnishes like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh mint.
- Storage: Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can use two 3 oz boxes of Jello instead of one 6 oz box, or choose sugar-free gelatin for a lower sugar option.
- Whole milk Greek yogurt provides the creamiest texture, but plain or non-fat Greek yogurt can be substituted depending on preference.
- Alternative garnishes such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh mint can be used to add texture and flavor.
