- 1 cup sweet cream coffee creamer, divided
- 2 cups fat-free vanilla yogurt, divided
Toppings

Instructions
- Prepare Grape Jello Layer: Dissolve one package of grape Jello in 3/4 cup boiling water, stirring well until fully dissolved. Stir in 1/4 cup sweet cream coffee creamer followed by 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt. Pour the mixture into serving cups to create the first layer. Refrigerate until set, about 1-2 hours.
- Prepare Blue Raspberry Jello Layer: Repeat the process with the blue raspberry Jello package using 3/4 cup boiling water, 1/4 cup sweet cream coffee creamer, and 1/2 cup yogurt. After dissolving and mixing, carefully layer this mixture over the set grape jello in the cups. Refrigerate again until firm.
- Prepare Lime Jello Layer: For the lime layer, dissolve the lime Jello package in 3/4 cup boiling water. Mix in 1/4 cup sweet cream coffee creamer and 1/2 cup yogurt. Pour slowly over the set blue raspberry layer. Chill until firm.
- Prepare Watermelon Jello Layer: Finally, dissolve the watermelon Jello package in 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir in 1/4 cup sweet cream coffee creamer and 1/2 cup yogurt. Layer over the set lime jello and refrigerate until the entire dessert is fully set, approximately 2 hours total.
- Add Toppings: Once all layers are set, top each cup with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top for a festive look, and insert a twisty lollipop into each cup to resemble a unicorn horn. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a spoon or piping bag for neat layering to prevent mixing colors.
- Make sure each layer is fully set before adding the next to maintain distinct colors.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives.
- Twisty lollipops can be replaced with unicorn-themed candy or edible decorations.
- Serve these cups chilled for best texture and flavor.
