What a great idea! The first time I halved the recipe, using mandarin orange jello and vanilla frozen yogurt (I only had a drop left, but wanted to try this). After loving the results, I made a batch with the same orange flavoured jello and chocolate frozen yogurt - if you like chocolate and oranges, this is heavenly. Next I think I'll layer two flavours in a loaf pan to slice and serve with fresh fruit. So many possibilities with this one. Thanks Ranikabani!

I made following your directions exactly. I would have liked to know the approximate time for partially set jello. I think mine set up too much, and the result was not as smooth as I would have liked. It does make a pretty dessert, and it is very refreshing on a hot summer day. It would be nice served with a garnish of fanned strawberries and a mint sprig.
