This refreshing Greek Yogurt Jello recipe combines the creamy texture of Greek yogurt with the light, fruity flavors of sugar-free Jell-O. A simple and healthy dessert option that is low in calories and perfect for a quick, guilt-free treat.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 package sugar-free Jell-O (flavor of choice)
- ½ cup boiling water*
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional; recommended for orange flavor)
Instructions
- Dissolve Jell-O: Add the boiling water to a medium bowl, then pour in the sugar-free Jell-O mix. Whisk well until the powder completely dissolves.
- Mix with yogurt (first half): Transfer about half of the Greek yogurt to the bowl, whisking gently until it’s fully incorporated.
- Combine remaining yogurt: Add the remaining Greek yogurt to the bowl and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
- Add vanilla extract (optional): If desired, stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, especially recommended for orange flavor to achieve a creamy “creamsicle” taste.
- Prepare for chilling: Either cover the bowl tightly or pour the mixture into 2 separate bowls or parfait glasses and cover with plastic wrap.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until completely set.
- Serve: Serve chilled. Optionally garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of orange zest for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- You can choose any flavor of sugar-free Jell-O to suit your taste preferences.
- Vanilla extract enhances the flavor, especially with orange Jell-O for a creamsicle effect.
- The dessert needs to chill for at least 1 hour, though 2 hours is recommended for firmer texture.
- This recipe serves 2 but can be easily doubled for more servings.
- For a dairy-free variation, use a plant-based yogurt alternative, though texture may vary.
