Description
This Whipped Greek Yogurt recipe is a light and creamy treat that blends thick Greek yogurt with heavy cream, honey, and vanilla to create a luscious topping or snack.

Ingredients
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
- Combine Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey, and vanilla bean paste into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring all ingredients are ready to be whipped together.
- Whip the Mixture: Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds to blend, then increase the speed to high and continue whipping until medium stiff peaks form, typically about 3 to 4 minutes. This creates a light, fluffy texture.
- Serve: Use the whipped Greek yogurt as a topping for desserts or crepes, or enjoy it alongside granola or fresh fruit. It enhances your dish with creamy sweetness and a rich vanilla flavor.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt that is thick and creamy for best results; strained varieties work well.
- Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing honey to taste.
- If you don’t have vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract is a suitable substitute.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours; re-whip before serving if it deflates.
- This whipped yogurt can be used as a healthier alternative to whipped cream in many recipes.
