This easy creamy jello yogurt fluff is a new favorite in our house. Low in calories with Zero Weight Watchers SmartPoints on the Blue and Purple plans, it's hard to beat when you are looking for a guiltless low calorie sweet treat.
This quick and easy tasty low calorie treat has been popular in the Weight Watchers community for years. You'll find lots of variations of it all over the internet.
So imagine my surprise when I happened upon what I think to be the original recipe while flipping through the Jello Fun and Fabulous Recipes (affiliate link) Book from 1988.
This version calling for 1 package of (4 serving size) of sugar-free gelatin and 1 cup of plain yogurt whizzed together in the blender (affiliate link) results in a creamy light and luscious yogurt fluff more creamy and less dense than other variations I've sampled.

I really enjoyed this light and refreshing treat. Orange is may favorite so far, but I think I'll try lime next. Thanks for sharing this old recipe that I never would have heard of without your blog post.
Patricia Gay Hale
Tried this with lime. Delicious!
Kathy E.
This is a great tasting treat! Very light and refreshing! I topped mine with a bit of ff whipped topping and raspberries. Yum!
Sally
Has anyone tried sugar-free pudding mix with yogurt instead of jello?
Meg
Does it have to be plain yogurt? Would fat free flavoured yogurt taste weird?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Meg, you can definitely use flavored yogurt, but it may change the WW SmartPoints if that's a concern. You'll want to use a flavor that combines well with the jello flavor you have chosen. ~Martha
Marge
Found this to be a delicious, cool dish to especially enjoy in our very hot weather. A lovely dessert and for me, a nice ‘supper’ since I tend to eat more hearty at lunch time! For my supper, I added a few chopped walnuts and found it a satisfying meal.
Ethel M
Martha , I am a big fan of your recipes.I've tried this twice as I get tired of plain jello with fruit. Although I find this very light and yummy mine looks no where near as thick as you have in your picture. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong. Also when you add fruit, does that also get blended in the blender?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Ethel, It's so hard to know why yours is turning out thinner than mine. You could always use less water and/or increase the amount of yogurt to see if you like the consistency better. As for the fruit, you could either blend it or stir it in after blending, whichever you prefer. Hope this helps. ~Martha
Carol
How many ice cubes are needed in the recipe?
Love all your recipes!
Martha McKinnon
Hi Carol, place 1/2 cup cold water in a 2 cup measuring cup. Then add enough ice to bring the water/ice level to 1-1/4 cups. ~Martha
Diane Murray
I used frozen strawberries in place of the ice cubes. Added a little stevia and vanilla. Terrific!
Martha McKinnon
Love the idea of frozen strawberries in place of ice cubes! Thanks for sharing. ~Martha
Jeanne Walz
Easy, light, flavorful and my husband's favorite summer dessert. We've tried all flavors, all are great!
Sara Schwartz
Pretty good, but not going to use blender because most of it stuck to the blades and it only made 2 not 5.
Theresa
I dissolve the jellos in hot water first. Less stick.
Marilyn J Richardson
Excellent recipe and so easy to make. Low points so a win win!
Judith Cushman
Thank you for this recipe. It is exactly what I was looking forward to. I love your blog and look forward to more recipes, hints and information in the future.
Yvonne
Very yummy easy to make
Joyce
We really enjoyed this dessert. Be sure to use the blender to get it really light and fluffy. Will definitely make it again.
Stephanie
so light and fluffy. My whole family loved it!
Tina
This sounds really good. I can't wait to try it! Do you have to use a blender?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Tina, No you don't have to use a blender. Instead you could whip it up with a whisk. ~Martha
Theresa
I actually just use cold water. No longer add ice cubes and it tastes the same. Why do you think cubes are in recipe? I do love the idea of adding frozen fruit in place of ice—that makes sense to me for the flavor!
Barbara Rendich
The best! Tasty, cooling, and just plain good!
MMK
I love the simplicity of this. I never thought of replacing the ice with frozen fruit, but it makes sense. I recently poured this into popsicle molds - delicious!!

For those of us who really really like to eat a pint of ice cream and a recipe that's mostly ice and air just won't do it, I made up this recipe.
First you buy a box of your favorite-flavor Jello in the sugarless variety. Then you head on over to the dairy case and get a two-pound (that's TWO pints!) tub of whole-milk yogurt. You sprinkle the jello on the yogurt and can eat half of it for only 300 calories. It tastes as good as ice cream and is just as filling a comfort food as a pint of ice cream. (Or you could just eat a layer or two instead of half the tub.)
I really can't understand why the dairy industry hasn't thought of doing this already. All yogurt except plain yogurt is loaded with sugar, and sugar is like a heart pill in reverse. FLAVORED YOGURT IS JUNK FOOD, NOT HEALTH FOOD! However, whole-milk yogurt with sugarless jello (or cocoa, or other food powders) on it IS a health food. Sugarless pudding powder also tastes good, but contains cornstarch and more calories, and cornstarch makes me hungry--the jello doesn't.
Skip the no-fat yogurt. It looks, tastes, and feels in your stomach like pureed Styrofoam, and the only thing you can put on it to make it better is the cover.
