These yogurt parfaits are as tasty as they are pretty. Fruit juice and unflavored gelatin lets you put your own twist on Jell-O; creamy yogurt and real fruit finish off the parfaits. Experiment and find your favorite flavor combos.

ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

3 1/2 cups fruit juice, such as raspberry, cherry, berry or fruit punch
2 packets plain gelatin powder
1 container (8 ounce size) fruit or vanilla flavored yogurt

directions

Pour 2 1/2 cups juice into medium saucepan and sprinkle gelatin on top. After 2 minutes, heat over low heat, stirring constantly until gelatin is dissolved (about 2 minutes). Stir 1 cup of this juice mixture into the yogurt until smooth. Set aside remaining juice.

Pour the yogurt mixture into small individual serving dishes (tilting them on an angle if special effect is desired!) Chill until set, about 1 1/2 hours.

Pour remaining juice on top for second layer. Chill until firm and serve.

You can also reverse the order if you wish to have the creamy layer on top.

Garnish, if desired, with fresh fruit.

cook's notes

Using your family's favorite juice and a favorite yogurt, this recipe is a pleasant change from packaged flavored gelatin since you control the flavor and sweetness.
