Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes (includes chilling time)
Ingredients List
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
- 1 packet of lemon-flavored gelatin (or lemon pudding mix)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin or Pudding
- For Gelatin: If you’re using lemon-flavored gelatin, prepare it according to the packet instructions. Usually, this involves dissolving the gelatin powder in hot water and allowing it to cool slightly before using.
- For Pudding: If you’re using lemon pudding mix, prepare it as per the package directions, ensuring it reaches a smooth pudding consistency.
Step 2: Mix Yogurt and Gelatin or Pudding
- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with the prepared gelatin (or lemon pudding).
- Stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. The yogurt will make it rich and creamy, while the lemon flavor will provide that refreshing tartness.
Step 3: Chill the Mixture
- Place the mixture in the fridge and allow it to chill for 1-2 hours. This will allow the dessert to firm up and set, making it perfect for serving.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the dessert has set, scoop it into bowls and serve.
- Optional: You can top it with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of lemon zest for extra flair!
Additional Notes
- Yogurt Alternatives: You can use any type of yogurt you prefer. Greek yogurt will make the dessert richer and creamier, but non-dairy yogurts such as coconut or almond milk-based yogurt work well for a dairy-free version.
- Sweetener: If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can mix in a little honey or a sugar substitute, though the pudding mix and yogurt will provide some sweetness.
- Texture: If you want the dessert to be thicker, you can increase the amount of gelatin or pudding mix used. If you prefer a lighter texture, reduce the amount slightly.
