Print Recipe

A light, tangy, and protein-packed whipped cream made with Greek yogurt and heavy cream. Perfect for topping desserts or breakfast dishes with a healthier twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt, chilled
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or powdered erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and add the vanilla extract.
  3. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, lightly stir the Greek yogurt to smooth it out.
  5. Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Sprinkle in the powdered sugar or chosen sweetener and fold gently until fully incorporated.
  7. Add lemon zest if using, folding it in for a bright flavor.
  8. Give the mixture one last gentle whip by hand or with the mixer on low speed for 10 seconds to unify everything without overworking.
  9. Let the whipped cream rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Always use cold ingredients and chilled equipment for best whipping results. Stop whipping at soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Fold Greek yogurt gently to keep airiness. Store in fridge up to 2 days and stir gently before serving. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and coconut yogurt but expect flavor changes.
