These Fruit and Yogurt Jello Cups are so fun and easy to make, and they’re only 65 calories or 2 Weight Watchers SmartPoints on myWW Green, Blue and Purple! To view your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here! I made a peaches & cream version this time because I’m on a peach kick, but you can make these with whatever fruit flavor you’re feeling at the moment: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange – whatever you like! This recipe is only 4 ingredients and can be prepped in under 10 minutes, so it’s a great one to make with kids. The gelatin will firm up in the fridge giving these a yogurt/mousse/jello smooth texture and I love the bites of fruit throughout. I think these would be equally great for dessert, breakfast, a snack, or all three!

These jello cups are only 4 ingredients and can be prepped in under 10 minutes for a fun and easy snack or dessert!

- *Optional: additional fruit for topping

In a microwavable mixing bowl, stir together the yogurt and Jell-O mix until thoroughly mixed. Place in the microwave and heat on high for 2-3 minutes, removing to stir after each minute, until the Jell-O powder is dissolved into the yogurt. Stir in the chopped fruit.

These look delicious, could you use Cool Whip instead of Red Whip?

I think 3 minutes curdled the yogurt:( Will try another batch for only 2 min. How do I know how long is enough?

Oh no! How weird. Mine was good after 2 minutes, but recipe I adapted it from on the Jello site microwaved it longer. You just want the powder to dissolve into the yogurt, so once it’s not speckled you’re good to go.

I just made with plain Greek non fat & raspberry jello. Delicious! I microwaved for 2 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe!

These look fantastic! I am off to the grocery store a.s.a.p to pick up some jello! I am always looking for tasty low-cal desserts. It looks like I’ve found what I was looking for.

Do you think this would work with non Greek yogurt made from soy or almond milk? I can’t eat dairy at all including regular yogurt. Thanks and keeping my fingers crossed that it works.

I can’t figure out how these are only 1 smart point.

Debbie Walter, I just put it through the Recipe Builder, and it’s definitely 1 SP per serving.

If you microwave the yogurt you are destroying the active yogurt cultures. I would dissolve the jello in a small amount of boiling water, then let it cool a bit be fore whisking it with the yogurt.

I just put these in the fridge and can’t wait to try them tonight. Especially after licking the bowl clean 🙂 I only needed 1 minute to microwave (30 sec., stir, 30 sec.) for a smooth texture. Also got 8 almost full cupcake liners. Thanks for the idea!

Just to make you aware this recipe is in your vegetarian section but is not vegetarian! Gelatin is not a vegetarian product.

I didn’t even microwave it. Just whipped the jello into the plain Greek yogurt.
Tastes great!!-

Microwave not required. Place yogurt and jello in food processor and process for 10 second or so and jello will dissolve into the yogurt

Thanks Emily and fellow Commenters.
I used Oikos vanilla Triple zero yogurt ( cut costs and used a portion of a larger container)
with sf raspberry jello and frozen blueberries. It is yummy.On advice of others, skipped the microwave step. It dissolved in less than a minute.
So many wonderful combinations.

Any suggestions for someone who doesn’t own a microwave?

I just tried this today and it was delicious! I used sugar free diced peaches (snack cups) and put in 2 containers minus the juice. I plan to experiment with more flavors in the future.

Update – I tried this using strawberry sugar free jello and diced frozen strawberries. I mixed the Cool Whip into the yogurt mixture (because I didn’t read the directions). This was my favorite flavor so far.

Would the mixture work in small silicone molds for fancier shaped individual servings?

Can this be made into a 8 inch square pan? Would it cut and serve up like cake?

How do you mix if you don’t use/own microwaves? Is there another way to mix the yogurt and Jello together?
