Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole kiwifruit
- 3 oz lime-flavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup whipped cream (optional for garnish)
- 1 tsp lime zest (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the kiwifruit and slice two of them into thin rounds. Set the sliced rounds aside for garnish. Dice the remaining kiwifruit into small pieces for use in the jello.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the lime-flavored gelatin powder. Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Allow the gelatin mixture to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Do not let it set during this time.
Once the gelatin has cooled, gently fold in the diced kiwifruit pieces.
Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or a single glass dish. Place in the refrigerator and allow to set for approximately 2 hours or until firm.
While the jello is setting, in a separate bowl, mix the plain yogurt with granulated sugar until smooth and slightly sweetened. Keep this in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Once the jello has set, spoon a layer of the sweetened yogurt over the top of each serving.
Garnish with the reserved kiwifruit slices. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with lime zest for an extra touch.
Serve chilled and enjoy this vibrant, refreshing dessert!
