Ingredients
Scale
Jello Layers
- 4 packages (3 oz each) Jello: Grape, Blue Raspberry, Lime, Watermelon
- 3 cups boiling water, divided
- 1 cup sweet cream coffee creamer, divided
- 2 cups fat-free vanilla yogurt, divided
Toppings
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Sprinkles, for garnish
- Twisty lollipops, for garnish (unicorn horns)
Instructions
- Dissolve the first Jello flavor: In a medium bowl, combine the grape Jello with 3/4 cup boiling water. Whisk until fully dissolved to create a smooth mixture.
- Cool the Jello mixture: Refrigerate the dissolved Jello mixture until it cools to room temperature, about 20 to 30 minutes. This prevents yogurt from curdling when mixed.
- Add creamy ingredients: Stir in 1/4 cup coffee creamer and 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt into the cooled Jello. Whisk well until smooth and fully combined.
- Layer into glasses: Spoon the blended mixture evenly into each serving glass. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow this layer to set.
- Repeat for remaining flavors: Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the Blue Raspberry, Lime, and Watermelon Jello flavors, layering each subsequent flavor on top of the previous until all layers are set in their glasses.
- Final setting: After all layers are added, place the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to ensure the Jello cups are fully set and chilled.
- Add toppings and serve: Before serving, top each cup with whipped cream, a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles, and a twisty lollipop as a whimsical unicorn horn garnish.
Notes
- Keep the Jello cups refrigerated until ready to serve for best texture and freshness.
- These Jello cups were made using large 8-ounce glasses, but smaller glasses or plastic cups can be used with the same recipe.
- The yogurt adds creaminess and cuts the sweetness, making it a balanced dessert.
