If you’re someone who’s busy baking holiday treats or making candy let me say right up front that this Jello Yogurt Pie made from sugar-free Jello and Greek yogurt may not be something that’s going to excite you. This recipe is for those people who write to me this time of year begging for an easy dessert without a lot of sugar. And it’s also great for people like me who aren’t really that interested in baking but wants something sweet once in a while.
The recipe was sent to me by a reader named Kate, who shared it on Facebook. I originally used raspberry sugar-free jello when I made this years ago. But Kate used lemon sugar-free jello, which sounded great, so recently I decided to try that and update the photos.
And I think orange jello would also be great in this recipe and might give kind of a Creamsicle vibe. I thought the yogurt pie was good, but I also loved it layered into a parfait with whipped topping; see a photo of that below. And this Jello Yogurt Pie is not only super low in carbs, but it has 10 grams of protein per serving; hope you will try it!
What ingredients do you need?
(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- plain yogurt, preferably Greek yogurt
- Sugar-Free Jello (affiliate link)
How low in carbs is the Sugar-Free Jello Yogurt Pie?
When this recipe is made with sugar-free jello and a plain yogurt without added sugar it has only about 3 carbs per serving and 10 grams of protein.
Can you make the Jello Yogurt Pie with regular Jello?
I haven’t tried making this Jello Yogurt Pie with regular Jello that contains sugar, but I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work.
Can you make the Jello Yogurt Pie with non-fat Yogurt?
I haven’t tried making this recipe with non-fat yogurt which will have a bit more carbs. However, I originally made it with low-fat Greek yogurt which worked fine, but full-fat Greek yogurt is what I’d use now.
Can you add fruit to the Jello Yogurt Pie?
I haven’t tried adding fruit to this recipe, but I think fruit that’s not too wet (like blueberries) would probably work!
How to make the Jello Yogurt Pie:
(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- You need a large package of sugar-free jello (or 2 small packages) and a 32 oz. package of plain yogurt to make this. I used my favorite Greek yogurt, but Kate didn’t specify Greek yogurt so I’m guessing regular plain yogurt will work just fine.
- Mixing the jello powder with the plain yogurt is the hardest part of the recipe; be persistent and get it completely mixed! (I’m using a big 4 cup measuring cup here.)
- Microwave the jello-yogurt mixture on high for 1 1/2 minutes, then give it a good stir and microwave for another 1 minute.
- Stir again, making sure all the jello is mixed with the yogurt.
- Pour the heated yogurt mixture into a glass pie plate that you’ve sprayed with nonstick spray and put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours or until firmly set.
- After 3 hours, take the pie out, cut into slices, and serve (with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping if you’d like.)
And I love this Zero Sugar Reddi Whip, which is perfect to enjoy with the Sugar-Free Jello Yogurt Pie. I didn’t find this on Amazon, but hopefully you can find it (or something similar) at a store near you.
And here is the what the raspberry flavor looked like when I made it years ago. And as I said, layered into a glass with Zero Sugar Reddi Whip (or your favorite whipped topping) to make a parfait was my favorite way to eat this.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
If you’re making the Sugar-Free Jello Yogurt Pie for a low-carb diet you’ll want to use full-fat yogurt and this is quite low in carbs and high in protein. Using fat-free Greek yogurt will increase the carbs a bit but would make this acceptable for all phases of the original South Beach Diet.

I will definitely make this as my husband and my dad are both diabetics. Heaven knows I don’t need the calories. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad you like it!
Hi I was thinking adding in a plain gelatin pack for extra firm or no?
I wouldn’t add that, this is quite firm.
Can you put this recipe into a Tuberware jello mold ?
Hmmm. I can’t say for sure as I haven’t tried that, but I do think it will work. Let me know how it goes if you do it.
I just love this two ingredient awesome recipe. ย I just want to ask can I use normal sugary jelly and regular yogurt???
I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure you can.
Thanks for this recipe. I was reluctant to try it myself but I needed a recipe without the whipped topping so many of them call for and yours has shown me that it works.
Glad you liked it!
For those of you wondering if you can make this on the stove, yes you can. I tried it last night. I kept it at a very low temperature, and stirred constantly. I waited until it was glossy on top, and really warm (not hot.) Thanks Kalyn for the recipe ๐ It turned out a little too sweet, but now I have a starting point. Next time I will use less Jello, everyone has their own tastes ๐
April, thanks for reporting about your experiment!
Yes it's correct.
It says 32 oz of yogurt. Is that correct? I feel like that's a whole lot. I'm making it thanksgiving! I have always made a jello pie with cool whip, but would much rather use Greek yogurt!
Looks very pretty but you just destroyed all the good L.casei bacteria in your yogurt by microwaving it :(((
If you're concerned about that, sounds like this recipe is not for you.
I made this pie with lemon jello and it was just like eating lemon meringue pie! Hubby and I give it two thumbs up.
So glad you liked it; I need to try lemon!
I wish there were other sf jello options. They all have aspartame that I refuse to eat..I wonder if you could make your own with Knox gelatin an flavorings of choice? Has anyone tried that?
I haven't tried that but I think it might work.
Val, fun to hear that. I like the idea of more yogurt and less jello.
I bought a 4 1/2 serving box of jello instead of the 8 serving box and this recipe still came out awesome!! So quick and easy to make. This is a real keeper! Thanks for sharing.
Shannon, so glad the recipes have been helpful!
I made this with lime jello, a teaspoon of vanilla, and lime zest. A little whipped cream and I satisfied my key lime pie craving! Also, Kalyn, your recipes have really helped me and my wife stick to our SBD goals. Thank you so much!
Everyone has their own taste, that's for sure. Your mom's recipe sounds interesting.
I must be in the minority. I made this as stated for my family and mother-in-law tonight. I thought it was sour and had the consistency of a Pink Pearl eraser. Sorry, but I will pass making this again. Years ago, my Mom gave me a similar recipe; the yogurt used matched the flavor of the jello, and it was delicious. Since this was a little more lo cal, I thought I would try this. Ouch.
I haven't done it that way, so I'm not sure how it will work. I'd love to hear if you try it.
Hi! Quick question, can you heat this up on stove top instead of a microwave??
I made this the other night. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I really do look forward to eating it as a "treat". A little whipped cream makes it feel like I'm indulging!
Kalyn this is another phenomenal treat! I dont currently have a microwave so i had to make this via the old fashioned stove. I think that MAY have effected my texture a LITTLE but it was still awesome and i wanted to share with others what i did to it. I know it might sound off at first but i saved my serving of Peanut butter and topped this with it. Think about it its pb and j…and it was outrageous!! xoxox ty again for another treasure ๐
This recipe looks awesome! Thanks so much for submitting it to RecipeLionBlog.com for This Month's Healthy Bite. Check out your post and other Cool Whip Recipes at

Thanks again Kalyn!
Erin I haven't tried it frozen, but I'd be curious to hear how it works. Can't see why it wouldn't be good.
Has anyone tried this frozen? I like Yoplait Whips frozen (not low-carb of course) so was wondering if it may be similar. I have tried a similar recipe to this before and liked it but may have to try the chocolate version! I recently stumbled upon your site and am excited to try many of your recipes, coming from using many from another low-carb site that was a little more bland.
I think I have to try this version with chocolate!
I love this recipe, but am one of those people for whom dessert is not dessert unless it is chocolate. I made a version of this that treats it like a ricotta creme, but is essentially the same as this fabulous (and fat free) dessert. I keep the 32 oz greek yogurt and treat it just the same as the recipe, but instead of the fruity jello box, I use two packages knox unflavored gelatin, two tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and about 12 splenda packets. It is like a chocolate mouse pie! I sometimes put in instant coffee, vanilla, mint extract, etc. I've even mixed in peanut butter. Yum. Thanks Kalyn!
Totally helpful thanks Kalyn!
Good luck on South Beach, and I'm so glad my blog has been helpful!
This is my second time doing the south beach diet and this time is a whole lot easier and tastier thanks to you Kalyn. I have told all my friend about your blog!! This looks so good. Just sent my husband to the store to get ingredients. Thank you again so very much, for all the recipes!!!
This was great. I made half the recipe using 3 6-oz containers of yogurt as that is what I had on hand and one box of the 4-serving sugar-free Jello. So quick and easy. We all loved it. Made it as a parfait this time but plan to make a lemon pie next. Thank you! (I pinned it, of course)
mmm just found this recipe on pinterest – looks delish and easy!
i was wondering – have you ever tried it with jello instant pudding mix? (as opposed to fruity gelatin mix) i don't know if it would work to make a sort of cheesecake like dessert?
Hi Kalyn,
I love your blog – you are totally getting me through the diet! I wanted to know if the yogurt can be heated in the oven instead of the microwave – I dont have a microwave. Thanks so much!
Shira, I don't really know. I suspect it might melt when it's heated that way, but let us know if you try it.
Mary Crafter, I do allow people to post my photo with a link to the recipe on my site, as long as the recipe itself is not posted with the photo. Glad you are enjoying the recipes.
I would love to post pictures of the delicious recipes that I've tried on my website (of course linking back to you). I just started SBD and lost 3.5 pounds my first week ๐ I'm so glad I discovered your website early on my journey with SBD. I tried the Balsamic Onion & Pot Roast and the Yogurt Pie — both a great hit! Thanks again for everything.
I didn't think it tasted that yogurty (but I do like yogurt.)
This recipe looks and sounds delicious! I have a question….does it have the "tang" of yogurt to it? I'm wondering how "yogurty" it tastes!?? Thanks in advance for any comments!
Cool blog!
I'm loving that everyone is liking this recepie!!! My husband and I swear it is what helps gets us through the first week! We feel like we are cheating! Was just going to make one right now, as we always "regroup" in January and I'm totally trying Meagan's idea with the raspberry lemonade! Yum!!! ~Kate~
Meagan, that does sound good!
I made this today for my re-phase one week and i used 1 pack raspberry and 1 pack lemon and made raspberry lemonade!! it is great!
I did try it with the lime jello but I preferred the raspberry. Still hoping to find lemon though!
Love the idea of making it red and green!
i'm making this for our xmas dessert and i did a small batch to taste first and OMG! love love love it!! also to make it more christmassy i added some extra food colouring to make it more red and some green colour to the whipped topping ๐
This dessert was excellent. If only Jello had a Key Lime flavor……
Barbara I think you could heat over very very low heat for a few minutes.
I love the colour. This may be suitable for my diabetic son. I don't have a microwave though so need to come up with a stove top version.
Spencer I think your version sounds great.
Hi Kalyn, just wanted to let you know I tried the recipe and its delicious! I did change it up a little though, and used about a cup of skim ricotta and then three cups of low-fat yogurt to give it a slightly thicker consistency. I also decided to give it a crust, and I made a low-carb almond one which was recommended for things like cheesecakes and the like. All in all very yummy! ^_^
It's hard to find almost anything "desserty" for phase l so I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate you sharing Kate's recipe! I love the ricotta desserts, and the bonus is so does my hubby. Happy holidays Kalyn.
I can't wait to try this!
Desiree, it says in the recipe: "1 pkg. (8 serving size) or 2 pkg. (4 serving size)." Some stores only have certain flavors in the small size, but two small ones = 1 big one; either will work.
looks great, can you tell me if the Jello package is (2) of the 8-1/2 cup serving Net wt. 0.60 0z or just one?
I love it! I'm making this tonight. Thank you!:-)
This looks delicious and I really love that there's only two ingredients! Great use for Greek yogurt!
I am not going to publish comments critical of the artificial sweeteners used in sugar-free Jello. Obviously, if you're concerned about such products don't use them. However, I feel everyone has the right to make their own decisions about what they eat.
Yes, this will keep in the fridge (I said that in the recipe.) Hope everyone enjoys it for a guilt-free treat!
SO colourful. I love this!!
It's so pink, I might use it for my daughter's birthday party.
This would also look cute at a baby shower!
My handicapped daughter is coming for Christmas. She is also diabetic. She will think this is pretty indeed. I think I will make a small one with 1/2 the recipe. Does it hold for a day or two leftover in the fridge do you think?
Yum, I cant wait to try this! I love easy deserts thanks for sharing the recipe.
Well this looks delicious! My husband is diabetic and I think he'd love this.
I happen to be a huge fan of sugar-free raspberry jell-o, so this looks like a winner to me. And the color? Glorious!
