Two-Ingredient Creamy Jell-O Yogurt Fluff

A light and delicious low calorie sweet treat you can make in a variety of flavors.

Ingredients
3/4 cup boiling water
1 packet sugar-free gelatin (4 serving size)
1/2 cup cold water
Ice cubes
1 cup plain non-fat yogurt (regular or Greek)

Instructions

  1. Pour the boiling water into the blender.  Add the gelatin.

  2. Cover the blender, being sure to hold the lid down to prevent the lid from popping off because of steam, and blend at low speed until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 30 seconds.

  3. Combine the cold water and ice cubes to make 1-1/4 cups.  Add to the gelatin in the blender and stir until the ice is partially melted.

  4. Add the yogurt.  Cover and blend at high speed for 30 to 45 seconds.

  5. Divide the mixture evenly between 5 dessert glasses, bowls, or ramekins.  Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.  

Recipe Notes

Any flavor of sugar free gelatin will work.  Our favorites are orange, strawberry, and raspberry.

Experiment with adding and/or topping your yogurt fluff with different fruit -- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, canned pineapple, chopped apples, pears, etc.

You can use either fat free plain yogurt or fat free plain Greek yogurt.  You can also substitute cottage cheese for the yogurt if you prefer.  

The directions suggest making your fluff in the blender.  If you prefer you could use a wire whisk and bowl or electric mixer instead.

1st Explorers After-School Ministry Update

Science was a big part of 1st Explorers this week. On Monday, Cheryl Beck shared a wave bottle she had made to simulate ocean waves in her Chapel presentation. Emily Taylor shared information about bees and brought some bees and honey frames for the children to see. Pastor Mathis used a puzzle of the St. Louis Arch as a demonstration of a good foundation during RAs. Damon Krenek was able to figure out the puzzle. There was also an impromptu forensic investigation of a deceased bird that fascinated several of the children.

Curtis Collins visited from the Jackson County Health Department and brought his 3 dogs. He discussed dog handling and the best practices for approaching dogs. That was a lot of fun!

Other activities that filled the week included writing letters to pen pals, working on baseball throwing skills with Pastor Mathis, and lots of outside play. 

Thank you to Pastor Blake Daniel for leading Chapel on Tuesdays this spring. A huge thank you to all of our church member volunteers this week!! It takes a village!

1. Emsley Davis and Neleydee Torres enjoyed meeting one of Curtis Collins’ dogs as they learned more about safety around animals.

2. Rory Dills uses a magnifying glass to get a closer look at the honey frame.

3. Emma Carnes and Amelia Murchie are intent on a forensics project they conducted on the playground.

4. Pastor Mathis looks on as Damon Krenek solves the St. Louis Arch puzzle that was used to illustrate having a strong foundation.
