Ingredients
Whipped Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup (240g) whole fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt (such as Fage)
- 1/4 cup (60g) cold heavy cream or whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons (30g) maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, cold heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using, into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or use a hand mixer bowl.
- Start Mixing: Begin mixing on low speed for about 20 seconds, allowing the cream to start blending smoothly with the yogurt.
- Increase Speed: Gradually increase the mixer to the highest speed and continue whisking for about 2 minutes to incorporate air and create volume.
- Scrape Bowl: Reduce the speed and turn off the mixer. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Whip to Peaks: Resume mixing at high speed for another 2 to 3 minutes until soft peaks form when the whisk is lifted. The peaks should stand but not be very stiff.
- Store & Serve: Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. The whipped yogurt will thicken slightly as it chills. Serve plain or with fresh fruit and graham crackers.
Notes
- Coconut cream can substitute for heavy cream 1:1 for a dairy-free twist with a subtle coconut flavor and similar texture.
- You can double or triple the recipe to serve as a large dip for gatherings.
- Store whipped Greek yogurt in an airtight container to maintain its texture.
- Whipped yogurt is best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness, though it keeps up to 5 days in the fridge.
