Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Lime Jello (3 oz)
- 1 box Strawberry Jello (3 oz)
- 1½ cups plain Greek Yogurt (divided)

Substitutions:

- Add ¾ cup Greek yogurt to each bowl and mix until smooth.
- Add 2½ cups sweetened desiccated coconut to each bowl and stir until combined.
- Set up two small bowls with ¾ cup coconut each for coating stations.

- Serve chilled and enjoy the festive red and green holiday magic!
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months. Keep red and green balls separate to prevent color bleeding. Thaw in the fridge before serving and roll in coconut to refresh coating.
