  4. Step 4: Pour in the cold water and give a gentle stir to combine.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the mixture into 8 individual serving dishes (about 6 oz each) or into one medium serving bowl.

Tips & Variations

  • Use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt for a sweeter, richer taste or plain yogurt to keep it tangy.
  • Try different Jello flavors like lime, orange, or blueberry for variety.
  • Add finely chopped fresh fruit into the mixture before chilling for extra texture.
  • For a lighter option, use low-fat Greek yogurt and whipped topping.

Storage

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To serve again, simply remove from fridge and enjoy cold. If the texture changes slightly, a gentle stir before serving can help.

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.
