Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Lime Jello 3 oz
- 1 box Strawberry Jello 3 oz
- 6½ cups sweetened Desiccated Coconut divided
- 1½ cups plain Greek Yogurt divided
Instructions
- Prepare the lime jello according to the package instructions, but reduce the water slightly to create a thicker consistency. Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate until firm.
- Once set, cut the lime jello into small cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine half of the desiccated coconut with ¾ cup of Greek yogurt. Mix well.
- Add the lime jello cubes to the coconut-yogurt mixture and gently fold to coat.
- Using your hands, roll small spoonfuls of the mixture into balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
- Roll each ball in the remaining desiccated coconut to coat thoroughly.
- Repeat the process with the strawberry jello, preparing it according to the package, cutting into cubes, mixing with remaining coconut and yogurt, forming balls, and coating with the rest of the coconut.
- Chill the jello balls for at least 1 hour before serving to set fully and allow flavors to blend.
Notes
- Ensure the jello is set well before cutting to achieve neat cubes.
- Feel free to substitute different flavors of jello for a variety of colors and tastes.
