Prep & Cook Time
- Prep: 5 minutes
- Cook: 5 minutes
- Chill: 2 hours
- Total: 10 minutes active + chilling
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1 (0.3 oz) box of orange sugar-free Jello – gives that classic creamsicle flavor without the sugar.
- ¾ cup boiling water – to dissolve the Jello powder.
- 1 cup of ice water – made by measuring 1 cup of ice and filling it with water.
- 1 cup (8 oz) plain non-fat Greek yogurt – adds creaminess and protein.
Optional toppings:
- Fresh blueberries, raspberries, or mandarin slices
- Crushed graham crackers
- Whipped cream or coconut cream
📝 Instructions
Step 1 – Dissolve the Jello
Pour ¾ cup boiling water into a medium-sized bowl. Add the orange Jello powder and stir continuously for about 30–60 seconds until fully dissolved. Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth texture.
Tip: Use a whisk instead of a spoon for extra smoothness.
Step 2 – Prepare the ice water
Measure 1 cup of ice in a separate cup, then add water until it reaches the 1-cup mark.
Step 3 – Combine Jello and ice water
Slowly pour the ice water into the dissolved Jello while stirring. Continue stirring until the ice melts completely and the mixture begins to thicken slightly. This helps create a light, airy texture.
Pro Tip: If you want the dessert extra fluffy, let the mixture cool to room temperature for 2–3 minutes before blending with yogurt.
Step 4 – Blend with Greek yogurt
Add the Jello mixture and 1 cup plain Greek yogurt to a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds until smooth, creamy, and frothy.
Alternative: For a chunkier texture, fold the yogurt in with a spatula instead of blending.
Step 5 – Chill and serve
Pour the blended mixture into serving glasses, small bowls, or a medium-sized dish. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
Serving tip: Garnish with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of granola, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.
