Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
- Press the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch glass pan, saving a little to sprinkle on top.
- In a saucepan, heat sugar, cold water, and gelatine until dissolved.
- Mix in sour cream, strawberry yogurt, and vanilla.
- Chill until the mixture is partially set.
- Fold in whipped topping (Cool Whip) and fruit.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Sprinkle the top with reserved graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider folding in some whipped cream or whipped topping gently instead of Cool Whip. You can replace the strawberry yogurt with any fruit-flavored yogurt you prefer, such as peach or blueberry, for a different taste. Ensure the gelatine is completely dissolved for the best consistency. If you want to add a citrus kick, a teaspoon of lemon juice can brighten the flavors.
Serving Suggestions
This Strawberry Yogurt Mold makes a delightful dessert for summer gatherings. Consider pairing it with a light salad or a refreshing fruit platter for a balanced meal. For an extra touch, serve with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It also pairs beautifully with Easy And Delicious Cherry Cheese Cake for a dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The yogurt mold can be served chilled straight from the fridge. Avoid freezing as it may alter the texture of the yogurt and sour cream mixture. If it firms up too much, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
