Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Sugar-free Jell-O (any flavor)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Low-fat vanilla or plain yogurt
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, diced kiwi, or mango)
- 0.5 cup Whipped topping (optional, low-fat)
Instructions
Prepare the sugar-free Jell-O by emptying the contents of the box into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the Jell-O powder and stir until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture and stir well.
Remove 1/2 cup of the Jell-O liquid and place it in a separate small bowl. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
In the meantime, pour the remaining Jell-O mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses or bowls, filling each about halfway. Place the glasses in the refrigerator and chill for 45-60 minutes, or until the Jell-O is partially set (firm but not fully hardened).
Once the reserved Jell-O liquid has cooled, whisk it together with the low-fat yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Remove the glasses from the refrigerator and divide the Jell-O-yogurt mixture evenly among them, creating a second layer. Place back in the refrigerator and chill for an additional 45-60 minutes, or until fully set.
Before serving, top each parfait with a layer of fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped topping, if using.
Serve chilled and enjoy your low-fat Jell-O parfaits!
