Gelatin is a fairly easy to make dessert that is versatile and healthy. All you need is a little imagination and you can make a beautiful dessert that is healthy and guilt-free. Because gelatin is a blank canvas, you can use different fruits, colors, and flavors to make it extra special. Gelatin is great for building strong skin, hair and nails and tastes great. This dessert is great for kids to make and eat and because it is so good for them, you will not worry if they want to have a second serving.

This strawberry yogurt gelatin looks like something out of a gourmet magazine or a five star restaurant. It is absolutely perfect for a special occasion like Valentine’s day or Mother’s day. Try serving this dessert to finish off a romantic Valentine’s day dinner, or a fun Mother’s day brunch. Either way, this dessert is sure to please and surprise your guests and family.

I make this recipe with vanilla yogurt, ricotta cheese and stevia. Remember, you can use plain yogurt, or light yogurt in place of the vanilla yogurt. Use cream cheese instead of ricotta for a creamier texture. You can use sugar or a sugar substitute in this recipe as well. Experiment with these ingredients to make your strawberry yogurt gelatin perfect for you. I also make my own homemade strawberry topping, but you can use store-bought strawberry jam if you are in a pinch.

I place whole strawberries in the gelatin so that when you cut into it, you can see the cross sections of the fruit inside. I also top this dessert with more strawberries and some black berries, but you can decorate or add fruit to your liking. Remember that acidic fruits like kiwi and pineapple do not work, but any other fruits will do.
