FAQs

Can I use low-fat Greek yogurt for this recipe?

Yes, but the texture might be less rich and creamy. Full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt gives the best consistency when whipped.

How can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Try using coconut cream instead of heavy cream and a dairy-free yogurt alternative. Keep in mind the flavor and texture will differ from the original.

Whipped Greek Yogurt

• 1 cup 2% or whole thick Greek yogurt (such as Fage)
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey, and vanilla bean paste to a medium mixing bowl, ensuring all components are at a chilled temperature for optimum whipping.
2. Whip Mixture: Using an electric mixer, start whipping the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds to combine and introduce air, then increase to high speed and continue whipping until medium stiff peaks form, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. The mixture should hold shape but still be creamy.
3. Serve: Use the whipped yogurt as a topping for desserts or crepes, or enjoy it paired with granola or fresh fruit for a delicious snack or breakfast addition.

Notes

• Ensure the cream and yogurt are well chilled to achieve better whipping results.
• Vanilla bean paste gives a richer flavor than vanilla extract but both work well.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute with coconut cream and a non-dairy yogurt alternative.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
