What to add to Jello to make it taste better?
- Greek yogurt: you can add 5%, 2% or non fat Greek yogurt. Depending on the fat content that taste will vary. The 5% fat yogurt will be the most mousse like and creamy but it will have the most calories.
- Biscoff cookies are a great addition as they are sweet and crunchy. They are also very low in calories. I add just one crushed cookie (35 calories) per serving. If you have never tried them, you are missing out. You can buy them on Amazon (Biscoff cookies) or your local store. You can also use them in this Biscoff yogurt coffee dessert recipe.
- Fruit compote: you can make it yourself to reduce the amount of sugar. Use frozen or fresh fruit and add sugar or sweetener and cook in a small pot until the sauce starts thickening. Cool and put on top of jello. Top with Greek yogurt
- Whipped ricotta cheese: this option will add slightly more calories – you can use the low fat one. In a food processor mix ricotta cheese and a sweetener. Mix until smooth and put it on top of jello.
