In this post, we will show you exactly how to make these yogurt jelly bites from scratch and share why Gelito makes all the difference, especially if you care about what goes into your food.

Why Yogurt Jelly Bites?

Yogurt is not just a meal for breakfast. Full of calcium, protein, and filled with digestion-supporting probiotics, yogurt comes in especially creamy texture for use in desserts with little added sugar. 

It produces a light, fulfilling, and gut-friendly treat when combined with gelatin. Halal gelatin like Gelito adds structure without making it heavy. It's perfect if you’re trying to cut back on processed foods or looking for a cleaner treat.

These yogurt jelly bites are amazing in kids' lunchboxes, quick munchies post-work, and even as a tiny dessert when you have unexpected guests over. These are light and quite fresh while chilled. 

Since we’re using bovine gelatin and not porcine gelatine,  it is suitable for Muslim households and anyone trying to eat more mindfully. You get the texture of classic gelatinous desserts without any artificial additives needed. 

This recipe is probably one of the best to follow when it comes to learning how to use gelatine powder for first-timers or anyone who has always wanted to learn how to make gelatin snacks at home.

Meet the Main Ingredient: Gelito Halal Gelatin Powder

If you have ever turned over a jelly or candy package wondering, "What's in gelatin?", you are not alone. Many commercially available alternatives use porcine gelatin or gelatin from fish, which may not suit everyone, especially if heeding the halal guidelines.

Gelito Halal Gelatin Powder solves that problem.

It’s made from bovine gelatin, which means it comes from beef — and it’s 100% halal certified. That matters not just for religious reasons, but also for people who care about knowing where their food comes from.

It is 100% halal certified. That matters for religious concerns and for people who care about knowing the origin of their food. It is bovine gelatin, that is beef-based. 

The gelatin powder has a neutral flavor, thus not disturbing the flavor of your food. Whether you are making any gelatin dessert like a gelatin panna cotta recipe or coffee gelatin, it mixes perfectly well. Also, it is way easier than gelatin sheets because there is no soaking or cutting needed, just measure, bloom, and mix.

The resealable pouch keeps the gelatin dry and clean, which is great if you don’t use it all at once. Compared to regular gelatine powder you find in supermarkets, Gelito is more flexible, halal, and better packaged.

If you’ve ever wondered how is gelatin made or how is gelatin produced, Gelito keeps it clear: beef-sourced, halal-approved, and easy to use.

Yogurt Jelly Bites with Gelatin Recipe

Making these yogurt jelly bites is easier than you might think. You don’t need fancy tools or baking skills. All you need are a few everyday ingredients and Gelito Halal Gelatin Powder.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Gelito Halal Gelatin Powder

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1/2 cup milk (or use a dairy-free milk like almond or oat)

• 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Optional: fruit puree or finely chopped fruits (strawberries, mango, blueberries)

Instructions:

Step 1: Bloom the gelatin

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder with 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, as this is called blooming. It makes it easier for the gelatin to dissolve later on. If you want to know how to make gelatin sweets, this is the starting point.

Step 2: Warm the liquid

In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and sweetener (honey or maple syrup) over low heat. Don’t let it boil — just warm it up enough to help melt the gelatin.

Step 3: Add the gelatin

Once warm, add the bloomed gelatin and stir until it fully dissolves. Make sure there are no lumps. This step is key for a smooth texture.

Step 4: Mix in yogurt

Remove from the heat and cool the mixture for a minute before stirring in the yogurt and vanilla. Now is a good time to stir in some fruit puree for flavor! 

Step 5: Pour into molds or a tray

Use silicone molds for fun shapes, or pour the mix into a small tray or dish lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Chill

Place it in the fridge for at least 2–3 hours. This is how long it takes for the gelatine to set.

Once firm, pop the bites out of the molds or cut into small squares. They should hold their shape but still feel soft and creamy.

Store them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. They stay fresh for 4 to 5 days and taste best cold.

Variations You Can Try

Once you have made the basic Healthy Yogurt Jelly Bites with gelatin, it is easy to switch things up. Here are a few fun ideas to try next:

1. Fruit Swirl

Blend bites in a spoonful of berry or mango puree before chilling. Swirl it through the yogurt mix for a marbled effect and natural sweetness. It is an easy way to turn your basic gelatin dessert into something more colourful.

2. Layered Jelly Bites

Make one batch with plain yogurt and another with fruit puree. Pour the first layer, chill for 15 minutes, then add the second. This gives a nice two-tone look.

3. Dairy-Free

Use coconut yogurt and almond milk for a completely dairy-free option. It still sets easily with Halal Gelatin, and the coconut flavor goes well with tropical fruits.

4. Kids’ Molds

Make it more fun for little ones by using silicone molds shaped like animals, stars, or hearts. 

Whether you're exploring how to make your own gelatinizes textures or experimenting with something else, this base is flexible and fun.
