Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the jello is completely dissolved before adding the yogurt. If raspberry yogurt isn't available, you can substitute with any berry-flavored yogurt. You can also adjust the sweetness by reducing the sugar if desired. For a fun twist, consider adding fresh raspberries or a layer of whipped cream on top before serving.
Serving Suggestions

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The raspberry yogurt mold can be served chilled, and if it becomes too soft, you can briefly re-chill it in the refrigerator. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture of the yogurt.
