FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

For best results, use plain Greek yogurt to keep the dessert’s flavors balanced and avoid added sweetness or artificial flavors.

Is it possible to make this with regular Jell-O rather than sugar-free?

Yes, regular Jell-O can be used, but keep in mind it will add sugar and calories. Adjust sweetness accordingly if you prefer a lower-sugar dessert.
