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)
Optional Substitutions:
- Replace Greek yogurt with 1 can (300ml) sweetened condensed milk for a richer flavor
- Use thick cream (170ml) for an extra creamy version
- Substitute unsweetened desiccated coconut for less sweetness (adjust moisture as needed)
- Experiment with blue, orange, or yellow Jello for themed variations
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In separate bowls, place lime Jello in one and strawberry Jello in another to keep colors distinct.
- Add ¾ cup Greek yogurt to each bowl and mix until smooth.
- Add 2½ cups desiccated coconut to each bowl and stir until well combined. Add ¼ cup more coconut if mixture is sticky.
- Set up two small bowls with ¾ cup coconut each for coating.
- Roll each mixture into 1-tablespoon balls, coat with coconut, and place on the baking sheet.
- Repeat with both red and green mixtures.
- Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours or until firm. Serve chilled.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months. For best results, chill overnight and keep red and green batches separate to prevent color transfer. Perfect make-ahead treat for festive parties or edible gifts.
