Notes

• Use whole milk Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier texture, but plain or vanilla varieties work well too.
• Adjust gelatin flavor according to preference, such as lime or raspberry, for variety.
• Ensure gelatin is completely dissolved in boiling water to avoid grainy texture.
• Allow sufficient chilling time for the best firm, jiggly consistency.
• For a lighter dessert, use low-fat Greek yogurt, but texture will be slightly less creamy.
