Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 packet sugar-free flavored gelatin (0.3 oz)
- 1 tsp unflavored gelatin (optional)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- Sweetener to taste
- ½ cup fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
-
Boil the water – In a small saucepan or kettle, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
-
Bloom the gelatin – In a medium bowl, mix the sugar-free gelatin packet with the unflavored gelatin (if using) and pour in the boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved—this takes about 2 minutes.
-
Cool it slightly – Add ½ cup cold water to cool the mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so it’s not too hot when mixing with yogurt.
-
Mix with yogurt – In another bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Slowly pour the slightly cooled gelatin mixture into the yogurt, stirring constantly until fully combined.
-
Sweeten to taste – Add your preferred sweetener (or none at all if your yogurt is flavored already).
-
Add fruit (optional) – Fold in chopped fruit or leave it plain—it’s totally your call.
-
Pour and chill – Pour the mix into cups, jars, or a dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
-
Serve and enjoy! – Top with whipped cream, more fruit, or a drizzle of honey for extra yum.
Notes
-
Layer it up: Let one layer set before pouring another flavor on top. It looks super cute in clear cups!
-
Make it dairy-free: Use a plant-based yogurt and agar-agar instead of gelatin.
-
Boost the protein: Stir in a scoop of unflavored or vanilla whey protein before chilling.
-
Want it firmer? Add an extra ½ tsp of unflavored gelatin.
