Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 220 g griechischer Joghurt (Zitronen- oder Vanillegeschmack) Greek yogurt (lemon or vanilla flavor)
  • 125 ml Vollfett-Schlagsahne (mindestens 30% Fettgehalt) Heavy whipping cream (at least 30% fat content)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place 220g of thick Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl. If the yogurt is too runny, strain it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
  2. Pour 125ml of heavy whipping cream into the bowl with the yogurt.
  3. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the yogurt and cream on medium to high speed for 2 minutes until an airy and frothy consistency is achieved.
  4. Gently fold through the mixture in a zigzag pattern with a spoon. The whipped yogurt should hold its shape and have a mousse-like texture.
  5. Transfer the whipped Greek yogurt to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  6. When serving, scoop or pipe portions into glasses or small containers and enjoy.

Notes

Thick Greek Yogurt can be enjoyed in various ways: topped with fresh fruits, nuts, or honey, used as a creamy base for smoothies, or served as a dip for snacks. Mix in granola for added crunch or serve with desserts for a stunning dessert bar. It can also be enjoyed straight from the container.
