Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of mixed fresh fruits (such as berries, kiwi, pineapple, and oranges), diced
  • 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 packet (0.25 oz) of unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup of cold water
  • 1/4 cup of warm water
  • 1/4 cup of honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preparing the Fruit:

  1. Wash and dice the mixed fresh fruits of your choice into small, bite-sized pieces. You can mix and match fruits according to your preference and seasonal availability. Ensure they are thoroughly dry before proceeding.

Making the Yogurt Base: 2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and honey or agave syrup (if using) until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Preparing the Gelatin: 3. In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. 4. After the gelatin has bloomed, add the warm water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Ensure there are no lumps.

Assembling the Cups: 5. Divide the diced fruits evenly among serving cups, filling each cup about halfway. 6. Pour a layer of the prepared yogurt mixture over the fruits, filling each cup almost to the top.

Adding the Gelatin Layer: 7. Carefully pour the dissolved gelatin mixture over the yogurt layer in each cup, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.

Chilling and Setting: 8. Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is set.

Garnishing and Serving: 9. Once set, garnish each cup with fresh mint leaves, if desired, for a pop of color and flavor. 10. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of fruits, yogurt, and jello in every spoonful
