How to Make Lemon Yogurt Jelly

  1. Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan and line it with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with unmolding.
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes, stirring gently to ensure it dissolves completely.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and lemon zest. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Ensure there are no lumps.
  5. Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  6. Gently whisk in the yogurt until smooth and well combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the jelly is completely set.
  9. Once set, carefully lift the jelly out of the pan using the plastic wrap overhang.
  10. Remove the plastic wrap and cut the jelly into 32 cubes.
  11. Layer the fruit and jelly cubes in individual dessert dishes or wine glasses (fruit, jelly, fruit, jelly).
  12. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs before serving.
