Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 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)
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream or Cool Whip whipped topping
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl, add the box of gelatin and pour in the boiling water. Stir continuously for around 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 give the mixture a slight stir to blend everything evenly.
- Transfer to Serving Dishes: Pour the mixture into 8 individual serving dishes (approximately 6 oz each) or into one medium serving bowl.
- Chill to Set: Cover the dishes and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight until the gelatin is fully set and firm.
- Serve with Toppings: Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries or your choice of garnish.
- Store Leftovers: 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; sugar-free Jello can also be used as a substitute for a lower-sugar version.
- Whole milk Greek yogurt offers the creamiest texture, but plain or non-fat Greek yogurt can be substituted as preferred.
- Alternative garnish options include sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh mint leaves for added flavor and visual appeal.
