Greek Yogurt Frosting
Description
The Greek Yogurt Frosting recipe uses room-temperature cream cheese blended with vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt to create a base that is both smooth and airy. Vanilla extract adds aromatic sweetness. Gradually adding powdered sugar while mixing ensures the frosting is well textured and fluffy. The resulting frosting is neither overly dense nor too loose, achieving a balanced consistency suitable for spreading or piping.
This frosting pairs well with a variety of cakes and cupcakes, providing a subtle tang from the yogurt that complements sweet baked goods. It can also be eaten on its own as a creamy treat.
The process involves mixing at different speeds to achieve both incorporation and fluffiness, emphasizing proper mixing technique for best results. As the frosting contains dairy components, it should be stored refrigerated if not used immediately.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese 2 packages) at room temperature, light
- 1 cup Greek yogurt vanilla flavor
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups powdered sugar (200 grams)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and yogurt on high speed until fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- Set the mixer on low speed and gradually add in the powdered sugar until it's well combined. Return to high speed and beat for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is fluffy.
- Enjoy on cupcakes, cake, or a spoon!
