How to Make Yogurt Jello Cups
- In a mixing bowl combine the gelatin and boiling water. Stir for 1–2 minutes until completely dissolved.

- Stir in the Greek yogurt and remaining room temperature water until smooth.
- Pour into serving cups or containers.
- Refrigerate until firm.
- Top with fresh fruit and/or whipped cream before serving if desired.
Recipe Tips
- Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly before adding the yogurt so it stays smooth and creamy.
- Whisk thoroughly to prevent lumps.
- For a fluffier texture, use a hand mixer when combining the ingredients.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
You can, but the texture will be thinner and the protein content will be lower.
Do these taste like cheesecake fluff?
The texture is light, creamy, and fluffy — somewhere between Jello mousse and cheesecake fluff.
Can I freeze them?
Freezing is not recommended since the texture changes after thawing.
