Tips & Variations

• For a different twist, try mixing in fresh berries or topping with chopped nuts before serving.
• Using flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain can add sweetness and depth, but reduce any extra sweetener accordingly.
• Vanilla extract pairs well with citrus flavors, enhancing the overall dessert experience.

Storage

Store Greek Yogurt Jello covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it tightly wrapped or in airtight containers to maintain freshness. For best texture, consume within this time frame. If needed, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer consistency; reheating is not recommended.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Is sugar-free Jell-O necessary?

No, you can use regular Jell-O if you prefer. Using sugar-free Jell-O helps keep this dessert lower in calories and sugar.
