Phew! 😅
I’ve been experimenting with this Jello Whip recipe all morning and boy are my arms tired! I’m just kidding. I actually made them in the blender, so all I had to do was hit the button a bunch of times. Even still, the point is that I made a whole mess of whips and am going to share what I’ve learned with you today.
You’ll thank me afterward.
💬 What is a Jello Whip?
A Jello Whip is this retro dessert I found in my absolute favorite cookbook, Joys of Jell-O. There are many different editions of these cookbooks that Jell-O used to produce, and they all have their own unique charms. People used to suspend everything and the kitchen sink in Jello!
It was a whole thing.
🥣 Ingredients
The best part about this dessert is that it only needs 2 ingredients. Plus water. I never know if I should count water? Let us say 3 ingredients then, to be safe. You just need to buy a package of Sugar-Free Jello and some plain yogurt. Greek yogurt makes the airiest Jello Whip, but regular plain unsweetened works fine too.
🌈 Sugar-Free Jello Flavors
You can use any flavor of Jello that you like in a Sugar-Free Jello Whip. I tend to choose the red colors because they taste the best, but you can fight me on this one in the comments if you like. You might not be able to find all of the flavors in your local store, but you can find them all on Amazon.
Jell-O Brand Flavors: Cherry, Black Cherry, Lime, Lemon, Strawberry, Peach, Raspberry, and Orange
Royal Brand Flavors: Strawberry, Lime, Orange, Cherry, Raspberry
Starburst Brand Flavors: All Pink Strawberry, Blue Raspberry, Cherry
GramZero Brand Flavors: Raspberry, Strawberry, Cherry, Lemon, Lime, Orange
💰 Where to buy Sugar-Free Jello
🍚 Naturally Sweetened Jello
Now, you probably haven't heard of the last brand of Jello on the list, GramZero. (I only learned about it last month, and I am the Queen of Jello!) It's definitely worth a look though. GramZero is the only sugar-free gelatin dessert without artificial sweeteners. It's sweetened with all-natural stevia leaf, so you don't need to worry about the chemicals used in Jello.
📖 Instructions
- Add ¾ cup boiling water to a medium sized bowl. Pour in Jello powder and stir until fully dissolved.
- Make 1 cup ice water by measuring out 1 cup of ice, and pouring water in until it fills the cup.
- Add ice water to the dissolved Jello and mix until ice melts.
- Add Jello mixture and 1 cup yogurt to a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
- Pour the Jello into serving glasses or a medium sized bowl and chill for 2 hours.

🥛 Dairy Free Substitutions
- Plain Greek Style Almond Milk Yogurt: (Kite Hill brand) If you are on a low carb diet, then this is your best choice because Jello Whips made from almond milk yogurt have just 2g net carbs. Plus, it is the only Greek style non-dairy yogurt substitute that I could find, so it will whip up the best.
- Cashew Milk Yogurt: (Forager brand) Jello Whips made from cashew milk yogurt will have 4g net carbs. Be a little wary of the label though, because they claim that it has 1g of sugar in large print on the front. But when you read the nutritional info, you can see that it actually has 8g net carbs per ½ cup serving. So, while technically true, it is a little bit misleading for low carb dieters.
- Protein Almond and Soy Milk Yogurt: (Kite Hill brand) These Jello Whips will have 4g net carbs as well, and they also say 1g sugar on the label. It is nice to sneak a little extra protein in though. It will have 8g of protein, which isn’t too shabby. And if you buy the small 1 serving size container, you can just use 2 of them and skip measuring out the yogurt.
- Vanilla Soy Milk Yogurt: (Silk brand) I actually don’t recommend that you use soy milk yogurt if you are on a low carb diet, because the Jello Whips will have 9.5g of net carbs. But it is a good alternative, if you aren’t on one. And if you combine the vanilla soy milk yogurt with Sugar-Free Orange Jello, it’ll taste just like an orange creamsicle.
- Coconut Milk Yogurt: Do not use coconut milk yogurt. I repeat. Do not attempt to use coconut milk yogurt! It won’t jell right and everyone will be sad, including me.
Like I said, Phew! 😅
It’s sure a lot of info for a recipe that takes all of 10 minutes to make. After the Sugar-Free Jello Whips take a quick trip into the fridge, you'll have a dreamy, creamy, fruity dessert with only 35 calories and 2g net carbs. They are pretty spectacular if I do say so myself.
Alright, now it’s time to kick up my feet and relax. 😉

Brenda Sanderson says
This was just delicious! How could I not know about this sooner!
Darlene says
I have made this desert a number of times and it is delicious, creamy and refreshing. I pour the jello/yogurt mixture into a rubbermaid container with a lid and scoop out into bowls. Keeps fresh until we finish it & it doesn't dry out.

I made this today and this is so so yum! Instead of a blender I used a hand mixer and it worked perfectly. I tried 4 different flavours and they all turned out delicious. Thank you for sharing!

Sure thing!
edith says
These sound delicious! But what can you do if you don't have a blender?
Emily Krill says
I bet you could use a whisk and some elbow grease.
edith says
That I have! Thanks!
Robin says
Can the lemon whip be kept over night in fridge?
Emily Krill says
Sure! Don’t keep them longer than a few days though because they get hard on top.
Anetta says
These look delicious, thank you so much for sharing.
I’m not a big fan of yogurt but I’m willing to try. Lol
Is the yogurt very overpowering?
Thank you 🇨🇦
Emily Krill says
Not at all, it just makes it creamy.
