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)

Toppings (Optional)

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

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl, add the gelatin powder and pour in the boiling water. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved, which should take around two minutes to ensure no granules remain.
  2. Add Greek Yogurt: Whisk the Greek yogurt into the dissolved gelatin mixture until it is fully combined and smooth, creating a creamy base for the jello.
  3. Incorporate Cold Water: Pour in the cold water and gently stir just enough to blend it evenly without disturbing the texture.
  4. Transfer to Serving Dishes: Pour the mixture into 8 individual serving dishes, each approximately 6 oz, or into a medium-sized serving bowl for a communal dessert.
  5. Chill to Set: Cover the dishes and refrigerate until the jello is fully set, which typically takes about 4 hours but can be left overnight for best results.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top the jello with whipped cream or Cool Whip and garnish with fresh strawberries if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.
  7. Storage: Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, which will keep well for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and quality.

Notes

  • For best texture, use whole milk Greek yogurt either plain or vanilla flavored.
  • You can substitute the strawberry Jello with any favorite gelatin flavor to customize the dessert.
  • Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved in boiling water to avoid grainy texture.
  • This dessert is ideal for preparing a day in advance as it needs several hours to set.
  • Optionally top with fresh fruit and whipped topping to add freshness and creaminess.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
