Summer Yogurt and Fruit Jelly

Cool, creamy, and studded with juicy fruit, this summer yogurt jelly is the no-bake dessert you’ll make all season long. Light, refreshing, and endlessly customizable with whatever fruit is ripe in your kitchen.

For another quick sweet fix, try the Microwave Mug Cheesecake — a creamy, tangy single serving ready in about five minutes.

Ingredients

• 10 g (1 tbsp) gelatin
• 500 ml (2 cups) water
• 500 ml (2 cups) drinkable yogurt
• Fruit of choice, chopped

Instructions

1. Add the gelatin to the water and heat on the stove to max 60°C (140°F) — do not boil!
2. Whip the yogurt and stir in the cooled (not fully set) gelatin, 200–300 ml.
3. Add the fruit, blend everything, and pour into molds.
4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

If you love light creamy desserts, the Classic Cottage Cheese Bake is another gentle favorite, and Serious Eats has great guides on working with gelatin in no-bake desserts.

Tips

• Never let the gelatin mixture boil — heat above 60°C (140°F) weakens its setting power.
• Let the dissolved gelatin cool to room temperature before whisking it into the yogurt.
• Lightly oil the molds before filling for easy unmolding.
