Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Chill to set: Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until the mixture is fully set and has a firm jello-like consistency.
  7. 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.
