Notes

• Feel free to substitute the strawberry Jello with any other flavor of your preference.
• Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the final dessert.
• For a lower sugar option, consider using sugar-free Jello and plain Greek yogurt.
• Garnishes are optional but enhance the appearance and taste of the dessert.
