Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups plain or Greek yogurt
- 1 packet flavored gelatin (strawberry, lemon, or raspberry)
Optional Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk Yogurt: In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt until it becomes smooth and creamy, removing any lumps to ensure an even texture.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Following the packet instructions, dissolve the flavored gelatin in hot water. Allow it to cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot, preventing curdling when combined with yogurt.
- Combine Mixture: Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt while continuously whisking. This ensures the gelatin fully integrates with the yogurt for a smooth consistency.
- Chill and Set: Transfer the combined mixture into a dish or mold of your choice. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until the jello sets firmly.
- Serve: Once set, slice into portions and serve as is or with fresh fruit or granola for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use plain or Greek yogurt based on your preference; Greek yogurt will yield a higher protein content.
- If using unflavored gelatin and maple syrup, gently warm the mixture to dissolve the gelatin completely before adding to yogurt.
- For a vegan alternative, you can try agar-agar but it may alter texture.
- Make sure the gelatin is only slightly warm before mixing to avoid curdling the yogurt.
