Ingredients

Scale

Gelatin Mixture

1 box (6 oz) strawberry Jello gelatin (or your favorite flavor)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water

Greek Yogurt Mixture

2 cups Greek yogurt (whole milk preferred, vanilla or plain)

Optional Garnishes

Whipped cream or Cool Whip whipped topping
Fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl, add the strawberry Jello gelatin powder and pour in the cup of boiling water. Stir continuously for about two minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is clear.
Combine with Greek Yogurt: Whisk the Greek yogurt into the dissolved gelatin mixture until it is well combined, creating a smooth and creamy blend without lumps.
Add Cold Water: Pour in the cup of cold water and give the mixture a slight stir to integrate everything evenly.
Transfer to Serving Dish: Pour the mixture into 8 individual serving dishes (approximately 6 oz each) or one medium serving bowl, spreading it evenly for consistent set.
Chill and Set: Cover the dishes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the gelatin to fully set and achieve the perfect jiggly texture.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each portion with whipped cream or Cool Whip and garnish with fresh strawberries to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
Store Leftovers: Cover and keep any leftovers refrigerated for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and safety.

Notes

Use whole milk Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture; vanilla or plain yogurt both work well.
Any favorite Jello flavor can be used in place of strawberry to customize the dessert.
For a lighter option, low-fat or fat-free Greek yogurt may be substituted, but texture may differ slightly.
If using a medium serving bowl, adjust portion sizes accordingly.
Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved in boiling water before adding yogurt to prevent lumps.
Leftover jello should always be kept refrigerated and consumed within 5 days.
