Great for summer this desert is not too sweet and light, served with the fresh fruit. I made lime jello as well as mango jello and layered the two and served it with fresh mango and kiwifruit to keep it light. My grandkids and my big kid DH gobbled this up. Will definitely be making this again as it is so quick and easy to make as long as you keep the setting time in mind. Made for recipe swap #22

Very good - my kind of dessert. This is also very adaptable to whatever fruits or jello you have on hand. I used strawberry jello and the fruit listed except for the passion fruit. Also instead of putting it in individual serving dishes, we mixed the jello and yogurt in a large bowl and let it sit in the fridge - about 2 hours later I stirred in the fruit - and easy and different way to have jello. Thanks for sharing this keeper.
