Ingredients
Scale
Jello Layers
- 4 packages (3 oz each) Jello: Grape, Blue Raspberry, Lime, Watermelon
- 3 cups boiling water, divided
- 1 cup sweet cream coffee creamer, divided
- 2 cups fat-free vanilla yogurt, divided
Toppings
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Sprinkles, for garnish
- Twisty lollipops, for garnish (unicorn horns)
Instructions
- Prepare First Gelatin Layer: In a medium bowl, dissolve one package of grape Jello with 3/4 cup boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Stir in 1/4 cup sweet cream coffee creamer and 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt until smooth. Pour a layer into clear cups and refrigerate until set, about 30-45 minutes.
- Prepare Subsequent Layers: Repeat the process for each of the remaining Jello flavors (Blue Raspberry, Lime, Watermelon), each time dissolving one package in 3/4 cup boiling water, then stirring in 1/4 cup coffee creamer and 1/2 cup yogurt. Pour each layer carefully over the previous set layer to avoid mixing. Refrigerate again until set before adding the next. Allow approximately 30-45 minutes per layer to set.
- Add Toppings: Once all layers are set, top each cup with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Decorate with colorful sprinkles and place a twisty lollipop in each, resembling unicorn horns for a whimsical finish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate completed cups until ready to serve chilled. These vibrant unicorn Jello cups are best enjoyed within a day for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use gelatin cups or small clear plastic cups for best presentation of layered colors.
- Allow each Jello layer to fully set before adding the next to maintain distinctive layers.
- If desired, swap fat-free yogurt for regular yogurt for a richer texture.
- To speed up setting, briefly chill layers in the freezer for 15 minutes but avoid freezing.
- Twisty lollipops make fun edible unicorn horns but can be omitted if preferred.
