How do you make whipped yogurt?

Whipped yogurt is made by blending thick Greek yogurt with a small amount of heavy cream or coconut cream. In a beaten yogurt recipe , you whip the mixture using a hand mixer or stand mixer for 3 to 5 minutes until it becomes light and airy. Add sweeteners like maple syrup and a splash of vanilla extract for flavor. No cooking required just whip and serve!

Is whipped yogurt healthy?

Yes, whipped yogurt can be a healthy treat especially if you’re using plain Greek yogurt and natural sweeteners. A typical serving from this beaten yogurt recipe contains about 5g of protein, healthy fats (if using whole yogurt or cream), and fewer added sugars than store-bought alternatives. It’s also rich in probiotics if your yogurt includes live cultures.

To beat yogurt, use a hand or stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Start on low speed to blend your ingredients, then increase to high to whip in air. In just a few minutes, your yogurt will become smoother, fluffier, and perfect for snacking or dessert. This process is key to achieving the creamy texture of any beaten yogurt recipe .

What does straining yogurt do?

Straining yogurt removes excess whey, which makes it thicker and creamier. This is an essential step in a beaten yogurt recipe , especially if you're using homemade or regular yogurt. Strained yogurt holds up better during whipping and delivers that mousse-like texture you’re aiming for.

Instructions

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.
It’s ready! Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The whipped yogurt will thicken slightly in the fridge. Honestly it’s never lasted more than 1 night in the fridge at my house!

Notes

Coconut cream: This recipe also works well with coconut cream substituted 1:1 in place of whipping cream. There’s a slight coconut taste, but the texture is virtually the same. Just an option if you don’t have regular cream! Coconut cream is the thicker top layer in a can of full-fat coconut milk.
