Ready to make some Greek yogurt frosting? To make this recipe you’ll need three tablespoons of Cabot Lowfat Plain Greek Yogurt or Cabot Plain Greek Yogurt—if you’re looking to cut down on the calories, we suggest going for the former over the latter. You’ll also need a half-teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, a quarter teaspoon of xanthan gum and 2 – 2¼ cups of confectioner’s sugar, depending on how sweet you want the frosting to be. Making the recipe is very straightforward: you should start by placing the yogurt and the vanilla into a medium-sized bowl. Then stir in the gum, and add the sugar too. We suggest using an electric mixer, set on high speed. Once you’re done, the final result should be stiff but spreadable.
Greek yogurt can be used to make a wide range of frostings and creams. If you’d like to make a cream recipe, we suggest making our Whipped Yogurt Cream recipe. Cabot is a cooperative of New York and New England farm families, and collectively, we’ve been making dairy products for generations. From our sour creams to our cheddar cheeses, we take a great deal of pride in crafting a wide range of and award-winning dairy products. We hope you enjoyed our Greek yogurt-frosting recipe.
