Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 package sugar-free Jell-O (flavor of choice, small box; 0.3 oz or 10g)
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional; recommended for orange flavor)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Gelatin: Add the boiling water to a medium bowl, then pour in the sugar-free Jell-O mix. Whisk well until the gelatin powder completely dissolves, ensuring no granules remain.
  2. Mix Half the Yogurt: Transfer about half of the Greek yogurt into the gelatin mixture, whisking gently until it’s fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add Remaining Yogurt: Add the remaining Greek yogurt to the bowl and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Add Vanilla Extract (Optional): Stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired, especially recommended for orange-flavored gelatin to give a creamy, creamsicle-like flavor.
  5. Cover and Chill: Either cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or pour the mixture into 2 separate bowls or parfait glasses and cover. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
  6. Set the Jello Yogurt: Chill for 1-2 hours or until completely set and firm, ready to serve.
  7. Serve: Once set, serve the Greek Yogurt Jello as is, or garnish with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of orange zest for an extra touch.

Notes

  • Use plain Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and flavor balance.
  • Boiling water is essential to properly dissolve the gelatin mix.
  • The vanilla extract is optional but highly recommended with orange flavor gelatin to enhance the taste.
  • Chilling time may vary depending on the refrigerator temperature; ensure it is firm before serving.
  • For a diabetic-friendly dessert, this recipe uses sugar-free gelatin and Greek yogurt.
