Made with sugarfree strawberry Jello and creamy Greek yogurt, it comes together quickly with minimal effort. Whether you need a light dessert after dinner or a quick postworkout snack, this fluffy, sweet, and tangy dish hits the spot every time.

I first discovered this recipe scrolling through TikTok during a busy week, and it quickly became my goto snack. My family loves how light but flavorful it is and often asks for a second serving.

Ingredients

• Sugarfree strawberry Jello: provides the signature fruity flavor without added sugar look for brands with real fruit extracts if possible
• Plain Greek yogurt: adds creaminess and a protein boost choose full fat or low fat depending on your preference
• Boiling water: dissolves the Jello powder completely for a smooth base
• Cold water: helps cool the mixture to the right temperature before adding yogurt
• Sugarfree whipped topping (optional): adds a lovely light fluffiness on top pick one with minimal artificial ingredients if you like garnishes
• Fresh strawberries (optional): bring additional natural sweetness and a nice visual pop select ripe but firm berries for best texture

Instructions

Scoop and Dissolve:

Pour the strawberry Jello powder into a mixing bowl and add boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved and the liquid is smooth. This step is crucial to avoid any grainy texture in your final fluff.

Add Cold Water:

Next, pour in the cold water. Stir again to mix well and bring the mixture closer to room temperature. This gradual cooling prepares the base for the yogurt addition.

Blend in Yogurt:

Add the plain Greek yogurt to the bowl. Gently whisk only until completely combined and silky smooth. Avoid overmixing as excessive stirring can break down the fluff and affect the light texture.

Chill to Set:

Transfer the mixture into a small dish or serving bowls and refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm and set. This chilling time allows the fluff to develop its airy texture.

Garnish and Serve:

When ready to enjoy, top with a spoonful of sugarfree whipped topping and a few fresh strawberries for a touch of elegance and extra flavor. Serve chilled, and dig into this creamy, fruity delight.

My favorite part of this recipe is definitely the Greek yogurt. It adds just the right tang and creaminess that balances the sweetness of the Jello, making it feel indulgent yet healthful. One time I brought this to a family picnic, and it disappeared faster than any other dessert. It's become a fun tradition now to whip this up when we gather.

Storage tips

Store the fluff covered tightly in the refrigerator and try to add toppings only at serving to keep the texture fresh and toppings from wilting or becoming soggy. Avoid freezing because thawing changes its light, fluffy texture into something watery and dense.

Ingredient substitutions

You can swap strawberry Jello for other sugarfree flavors like raspberry or cherry for variety. Greek yogurt can also be replaced with a plant based yogurt alternative, but the protein content and texture might differ. If you want extra creaminess, folding a small amount of cream cheese into the yogurt before mixing adds richness.

Serving suggestions

This fluff is great on its own or paired with fresh berries or nuts for some crunch. You can also layer it in a parfait glass alternating with granola or chia pudding for a more elaborate healthy dessert.

Serve chilled with fresh strawberries for a light proteinpacked dessert. It keeps refrigerated for up to four days.
