Description

A creamy and refreshing Greek Yogurt Jello dessert made with your favorite flavor of gelatin, Greek yogurt, and simple ingredients. This easy no-bake jello is perfect for a light sweet treat, combining the tangy creaminess of Greek yogurt with the fruity flavor of gelatin, chilled to a perfect set and optionally garnished with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.


Ingredients

Scale

Gelatin Mixture

  • 1 box (6 oz) strawberry Jello gelatin (or your favorite flavor)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water

Dairy

  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt (whole milk preferred, vanilla or plain)

Optional Garnishes

  • Whipped cream or Cool Whip whipped topping (optional)
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. 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 fully dissolved, ensuring a smooth mixture without any granules.
  2. Add Greek Yogurt: Whisk in the Greek yogurt to the dissolved gelatin mixture until it is well combined, creating a creamy, homogeneous mixture.
  3. Incorporate Cold Water: Pour in the cold water and give the mixture a gentle stir to blend it evenly without creating bubbles.
  4. Transfer to Serving Dishes: Pour the mixture into 8 individual serving dishes (approximately 6 oz each) or into a medium-sized serving bowl, spreading evenly.
  5. Chill: Cover the dishes and refrigerate them until the jello is fully set, which takes approximately 4 hours or can be left overnight for convenience.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream or Cool Whip and fresh strawberries for a decorative and flavorful touch.
  7. Storage: Cover any leftovers and refrigerate 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 Jello if preferred to reduce sugar content.
  • Whole milk Greek yogurt provides the creamiest texture, but plain or non-fat Greek yogurt can be used as substitutes.
  • Other garnish options include sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh mint for added flavor and aesthetics.
