This dessert was okay, but I've had better. The flavors were a bit bland and the texture was a bit too firm.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this dessert didn't turn out at all like the picture. It was more like a fruit salad with gelatin.

This dessert was a complete disaster. The gelatin didn't set properly and the whole thing turned into a sticky mess.

The texture of this dessert was a bit strange. The gelatin was too firm and the fruit was too soft.

This dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of gelatin desserts, but this one was really good. The fruit and yogurt flavors were perfectly balanced.
