Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box (6 oz) strawberry Jello gelatin (or your favorite flavor)
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (whole milk preferred, vanilla or plain)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
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 1 cup of boiling water. Stir continuously for about two minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved and there are no granules remaining.
- Add Greek Yogurt: Whisk in 2 cups of Greek yogurt (preferably whole milk for creaminess) until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Combine Cold Water: Pour in 1 cup of cold water and give the mixture a gentle stir to blend everything evenly.
- Transfer and Chill: Pour the mixture into 8 individual serving dishes (about 6 oz each) or a single medium-sized bowl. Cover and refrigerate for approximately 4 hours or overnight until the gelatin is fully set and firm.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, top each serving with whipped cream or Cool Whip, and garnish with fresh strawberries or your preferred toppings like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh mint.
- Storage: Cover and keep any leftovers refrigerated for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- You can use two 3 oz boxes of Jello instead of a single 6 oz box, or opt for sugar-free gelatin for a lower sugar option.
- Whole milk Greek yogurt gives the creamiest texture, but plain or non-fat Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
- Other garnish options include sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh mint to add variety and texture.
