Can I whip Greek yogurt without cream?

Yes, you can make whipped Greek yogurt without cream! Just replace the heavy cream with the same amount of additional Greek yogurt, but keep in mind that the texture might not hold as well.

How long can I store whipped Greek yogurt?

You can store whipped Greek yogurt in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It might thicken slightly over time, but it’s usually so delicious that it won’t last that long!

What are some ideas for serving whipped Greek yogurt?

Whipped Greek yogurt is great on its own, but you can serve it with fresh fruit, graham crackers, or even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness!

How do I achieve the perfect peaks when whipping Greek yogurt?

To get light peaks without overwhipping, start mixing on a low speed and gradually increase to the highest speed. Watch closely for when the peaks just begin to hold their shape without becoming too stiff.

What are the health benefits of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is high in protein and calcium, low in carbohydrates, and contains probiotics that are great for gut health, making it a nutritious choice for many diets.

How to Make Whipped Greek Yogurt

I fell for whipped Greek yogurt the first time I blended a spoonful of tangy yogurt with cold cream and maple syrup and ended up with something that felt more like a light, tangy mousse than the yogurt I started with. I make it when I want a quick no-bake dessert that still feels special — five minutes at most and you’ve got something silky, airy, and deeply satisfying. In my kitchen it’s become the go-to when guests drop by or when I want a portable snack that feels indulgent without fuss.

A bowl of creamy whipped Greek yogurt topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries, drizzled with maple syrup.

I love that the texture goes from dense and spoonable to airy and cloud-like — you can practically see tiny ribbons of cream folding into the yogurt as it turns silkier. I’ll be honest: early attempts that skipped cold cream or rushed the mixing produced a soggy, underwhipped mess. Once I adjusted a couple of easy habits (use cold ingredients, start slow, scrape the bowl), the results were consistent every time.

If you want a dessert that feels homemade but takes almost no time, this is it. It’s wonderfully versatile: plain with berries, spread on graham crackers, folded into parfaits, or swapped into recipes that call for a creamy component. If you like a crunch base, you can try using our Greek yogurt rice cake as a delicious base for your whipped Greek yogurt.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup whole fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup cold heavy cream or whipping cream
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt optional

Equipment

1 Stand Mixer with whisk attachment
1 Spatula

Method

Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or use a hand mixer.

Begin mixing on low for about 20 seconds, until the liquid cream begins to mix into the yogurt. Slowly increase power to the highest speed.
After about 2 minutes of whisking, reduce speed and shut off mixer. Use a spatula to give the yogurt a quick mix – push down the sides of the bowl and make sure the very bottom is mixed in.
Continue mixing for another 2-3 minutes, or until peaks form when the whisk is removed. The peaks will not be super stiff, but will still stand up.
