Main 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 mix: In a medium bowl, add ½ cup boiling water, then sprinkle in the sugar-free Jell-O powder. Whisk thoroughly until the powder has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix half the yogurt: Pour about half of the Greek yogurt into the dissolved Jell-O mixture, whisking gently but steadily to combine it fully without lumps.
- Add remaining yogurt: Add the rest of the Greek yogurt to the bowl and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and completely lump-free.
- Optional vanilla flavor: Stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired, especially recommended for enhancing the orange Jell-O flavor to create a ‘creamsicle’ taste.
- Prepare to chill: Cover the bowl tightly or divide the mixture into two separate serving bowls or parfait glasses. Seal with plastic wrap to prevent any odors from the refrigerator affecting the dessert.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until the mixture is fully set and has a firm jello-like consistency.
- Serve and garnish: Serve chilled. Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of orange zest for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use boiling water to fully dissolve the Jell-O powder for best texture.
- Whisk gently when combining yogurt to avoid breaking down the yogurt’s texture.
- Vanilla extract is optional but greatly enhances orange Jell-O flavor.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- This dessert is sugar-free and low in calories, making it a healthy sweet option.
- For a firmer set, slightly increase chilling time.
