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 the first jello layer: Dissolve 1 package of jello (choose grape for the first layer) in ¾ cup boiling water. Stir thoroughly until completely dissolved.
- Mix with creamer and yogurt: Pour in ¼ cup sweet cream coffee creamer and ½ cup fat-free vanilla yogurt. Stir gently to combine for a creamy consistency.
- Pour and chill: Pour the mixture evenly into clear cups, filling about a quarter of the cup. Refrigerate until the layer is fully set, about 30 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining jello flavors: For each subsequent flavor (blue raspberry, lime, watermelon), repeat the dissolution step using ¾ cup boiling water per package of jello, mixing with ¼ cup coffee creamer and ½ cup fat-free vanilla yogurt respectively per layer. Allow each layer to set fully before adding the next, giving about 30 minutes for chilling per layer.
- Add toppings: Once all jello layers are set, top each cup with a generous swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles, and place a twisty lollipop in each cup to simulate a unicorn horn.
- Serve chilled: Serve the colorful Unicorn Jello Cups cold for the best texture and flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure each jello layer is completely set before adding the next to maintain distinct layers.
- You can substitute fat-free vanilla yogurt with regular vanilla yogurt for a richer taste.
- The twisty lollipops add a fun unicorn horn effect but can be omitted or replaced with edible glitter or candy straws if preferred.
- These cups can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator to save time.
