A small parfait glassed filled with protein mousse, topped wtih whipped cream and raspberries.

I first saw a version of this recipe when I was scrolling through TikTok one evening, and after trying a few of the original recipes, I knew that it could be improved.

I started the testing process and found that reducing the liquid to ½ cup water (instead of the full amount) made for a better texture and more concentrated flavor.

We love to prep a few different flavors to keep on hand for a quick and easy snack or dessert. It's the perfect way to sneak in some extra protein - all while satisfying your sweet tooth.

Easy dessert recipe. The best part isn't even the creamy texture - it's how easy they are to make! Just whisk together the ingredients, chill, and then you're ready to serve up these tasty treats any night of the week.

Ingredients

Several packages of jello, some water, and greek yogurt.

Greek yogurt: Use your favorite Greek-style plain yogurt for this recipe. Skyr also works for this recipe, so long as it is unflavored and unsweetened. Non-fat Greek yogurt can be used if desired.
Flavored gelatin powder: Also known as Jell-O, this adds flavor, sweetness, and thickness. We like to use sugar-free options (to keep it low carb), but regular works well too!
Water: You will need ½ cup of boiling water for dissolving the gelatin. Don't follow the package instructions - you need much less water than what is called for.
Vanilla (optional): Adding a splash of vanilla extract adds a special touch to certain flavors (especially orange). It's totally optional, though!

How to Make Greek Yogurt with Jello

Whisking powdered jello into water in a large bowl.

Step one: Whisk one package of your favorite sugar-free gelatin flavor into ½ cup of boiling water.

Step two: Transfer about ¾ cup of plain Greek yogurt to the bowl, and whisk gently until it's well combined.

Serve and Enjoy!

More Flavor Options

Orange creamsicle: Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sugar free orange Jello mixture.
Cranberry orange: Add 1 teaspoon of orange zest to a base made with cranberry Jell-O.
Strawberry jello parfait: Use strawberry as the base flavor, and top with whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries.
Chocolate cherry: Use cherry Jell-O as your base flavor, then top each serving with whipped cream and a few chocolate chips.
Jello yogurt bowl: Add the mixture to a shallow bowl instead of parfait glasses and chill until set. Top with fresh berries, granola, or the toppings of your choice.
Sugar-free Jello whip: Also known as Jello whips, this is a lighter version of these yogurt cups. Reduce the yogurt to 1 cup and add 1 cup of ice water after dissolving the flavored jello in boiling water. Whip in a blender, then pour into glasses and chill.

Expert Tips

Use boiling water. Using very hot water is what activates and dissolves the gelatin. Do not use cold water - it will not turn out as expected.
Gradually whisk the yogurt into the jello mixture. In order to reduce the chance of lumps, we recommend whisking a little bit of the yogurt into the dissolved gelatin, then add the remaining half and whisk until smooth.
Use plain or vanilla Greek yogurt. We recommend using plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt (or skyr), but if you prefer, you can use lightly sweetened vanilla Greek yogurt instead.
Don't use sugar free pudding mix. Jello also makes a dry pudding mix, but it shouldn't be confused with the gelatin powder that is used in this recipe.

Ingredients

▢ 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
▢ 1 package sugar-free Jell-O flavor of choice (small box; 0.3 oz or 10g)
▢ ½ cup boiling water*
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional; recommended for orange flavor*

Instructions

Add the boiling water to a medium bowl, then pour in the sugar-free Jell-O mix. Whisk well until the powder completely dissolves.
Transfer about half of the yogurt to the bowl, whisking gently until it's fully incorporated.
Add the remaining Greek yogurt to the bowl and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
If desired, stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract (we like this for the orange flavor - it gives it a "creamsicle" flavor).
Either cover the bowl tightly or pour into 2 separate bowls (or parfait glasses) and cover with plastic wrap.
Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until completely set.
Serve and enjoy! Add a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or orange zest if desired.
