  • Boil 1 cup of water in the microwave.
  • Add 1 packet of Jell-O to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.

  • Refrigerate until set (see note).
  • While the first layer sets, add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons cold water to the remaining liquid Jell-O for the "cloudy" layer.
  • Pour the liquid for your "cloudy" layer on top of the completely set clear layer.
  • Refrigerate again until set.
  • Repeat this process with each color of Jell-O to create alternating "clear" and "cloudy" layers in each color you've chosen.
