1 cup cold water
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened or vanilla, depending on preference)
1 can (11 oz / 312 g) mandarin oranges, drained
1 tub (8 oz / 227 g) sugar-free whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Dissolve the Gelatin
In a medium mixing bowl, add the sugar-free orange gelatin mix. Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Add Cold Water
Stir in 1 cup of cold water to help the mixture cool down.
Mix in Greek Yogurt
Gently whisk the Greek yogurt into the gelatin mixture until smooth and well combined.
Fold in Whipped Topping
Add the sugar-free whipped topping and carefully fold it into the mixture to keep the fluff light and airy.
Add Mandarin Oranges
Gently stir in the drained mandarin orange segments, being careful not to break them apart too much.
Chill
Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl or individual dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or until set.
Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with extra mandarin segments or a sprinkle of orange zest for a fresh finish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve in individual dessert glasses for an elegant dinner party presentation.
Pair with fresh berries for extra color and nutrition.
Top with unsweetened shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
Layer it in a trifle dish with sugar-free vanilla pudding for a more decadent dessert.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Not recommended, as the gelatin and yogurt may separate after thawing.
Make-ahead: Prepare the day before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Flavor Variations

Lemon Fluff: Swap orange gelatin for sugar-free lemon gelatin and use lemon zest for a tangy twist.
Berry Fluff: Use sugar-free strawberry or raspberry gelatin with fresh or frozen berries.
Pineapple Fluff: Replace mandarin oranges with crushed pineapple (drained well).
Chocolate-Orange Fluff: Add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the yogurt before mixing.

Tips & Tricks

Room Temperature Yogurt: Use yogurt at room temperature to prevent lumps in the mixture.
Drain Fruit Well: Extra liquid from canned fruit can make the fluff watery. Drain thoroughly.
Gentle Folding: Overmixing can deflate the fluff, so fold whipped topping in slowly.
Sweetness Adjustment: If your yogurt is very tart, add a little powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.

Notes

If you prefer a more mousse-like texture, use extra whipped topping.
This dessert is naturally gluten-free and low in carbs.
Kids may enjoy it as a fun lunchbox treat when packed in small sealed containers.
