Introduction

Greek Yogurt Jello is a light and refreshing dessert that combines the creamy texture of Greek yogurt with the sweet, fruity flavor of sugar-free Jell-O. It’s a simple treat perfect for a healthy snack or a guilt-free dessert option.

A clear glass contains three layers of dessert: the bottom layer is a smooth pink cream, above it is a white creamy dollop, and the top layer has three fresh red raspberries placed on the white cream. A black spoon is inserted into the dessert, partially mixing the pink cream. The glass is placed on a white marbled surface scattered with whole and halved red raspberries. Two other glasses with different colored creamy desserts are partially visible around the main glass. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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

Step 1: Add the boiling water to a medium bowl, then pour in the sugar-free Jell-O mix. Whisk well until the powder completely dissolves.
Step 2: Transfer about half of the Greek yogurt to the bowl, whisking gently until it’s fully incorporated.
Step 3: Add the remaining Greek yogurt to the bowl and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
Step 4: If desired, stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor, especially with orange Jell-O to create a creamsicle-like taste.
Step 5: Cover the bowl tightly or pour the mixture into 2 separate bowls or parfait glasses and cover with plastic wrap.
Step 6: Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until completely set.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy! Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or orange zest for garnish.

Tips & Variations

Use flavored Greek yogurt to add a different twist without extra steps.
For a sweeter dessert, add a teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener before chilling.
Try different sugar-free Jell-O flavors to find your favorite combination.
If the mixture is too thick, stir in a little milk or juice for a creamier texture.

Storage

Store Greek Yogurt Jello in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, enjoy it within this time. Reheating is not recommended; serve chilled for optimal flavor and consistency.

Main Ingredients

1½ 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 to avoid any graininess in the final dessert.
Incorporate half the yogurt: Transfer about half of the Greek yogurt to the bowl with the dissolved Jell-O, whisking gently but thoroughly until fully combined.
Add remaining yogurt: Pour in the rest of the Greek yogurt and whisk the mixture until it’s completely smooth and lump-free for a creamy consistency.
Add vanilla extract (optional): If desired, stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. This step is especially recommended if using orange-flavored Jell-O to enhance a creamsicle-like flavor.
Cover and chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into separate bowls or parfait glasses and cover those with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the mixture is completely set.
Serve and garnish: Once set, serve chilled. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or orange zest to enhance the flavor and presentation.

Notes

Make sure the Jell-O powder fully dissolves in boiling water to avoid a grainy texture.
For a creamsicle twist, use orange Jell-O and add vanilla extract.
Can be served in individual glasses or a single bowl for easy entertaining.
Chilling time may vary slightly depending on refrigerator temperature.
This recipe is naturally low in calories and sugar-free when using sugar-free Jell-O.
