Ingredients
- 1 (3-ounce) package of Jell-O (any flavor)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Dissolve the Jell-O: Prepare the Jell-O using only the hot boiling water, stirring continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is clear with no granules remaining.
- Let it cool slightly: Allow the Jell-O mixture to cool for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial to avoid a grainy texture when yogurt is added.
- Whisk in the yogurt: Gradually whisk the Greek yogurt into the slightly cooled gelatin mixture until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and opaque.
- Chill until set: Pour the combined mixture into a dish or individual serving cups and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours or until the dessert is fully set and firm.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture or low-fat Greek yogurt for a lighter dessert.
- Any flavor of Jell-O can be used, but complementary flavors like strawberry, raspberry, or orange work best with yogurt.
- Ensure the gelatin mixture is not too hot before adding yogurt to prevent curdling or graininess.
- Chill the dessert uncovered initially, then cover once partially set to avoid condensation.
- This dessert keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
