Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 packet gelatin or flavored gelatin mix (about 85 grams)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh fruit or fruit juice (e.g., berries, pineapple, mango)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
  • 1 cup hot water or milk (to dissolve the gelatin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gelatin: Dissolve the gelatin or gelatin mix in 1 cup of hot water or milk according to the package directions, making sure it is fully dissolved without boiling to preserve its setting properties.
  2. Mix in the Yogurt: Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly but not set, then gently whisk in 1 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt until well combined to form a smooth and creamy base.
  3. Sweeten and Flavor: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener and incorporate 1 to 1 1/2 cups of fresh fruit, fruit juice, or additional flavorings such as vanilla, cocoa powder, or spices according to your taste.
  4. Pour and Chill: Pour the mixture into molds, bowls, or a large dish, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 3 to 4 hours until completely firm and set.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from molds or serve directly from the dish; garnish with fresh mint, shredded coconut, or chia seeds if desired, and enjoy a colorful, creamy, and healthy dessert.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
  • Warm gelatin just enough to dissolve; avoid boiling to ensure proper setting.
  • For layered effects, chill each flavor layer separately before adding the next.
  • Whisk yogurt slowly into gelatin to prevent lumps and maintain smoothness.
  • Chill uncovered initially to avoid condensation on the surface.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is possible but may change texture; best used in smoothies after thawing.
  • Reheating is not recommended as it affects texture and separation.
