Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tablespoon skim milk (optional, for consistency adjustment)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.
Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer set to low speed, begin to whip the mixture until it becomes smooth, fluffy, and slightly lighter in texture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
If the mixture is too thick for your liking, gradually add skim milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. Whip briefly again after each addition.
Taste the mixture to ensure sweetness is to your preference and adjust by adding extra powdered sugar or sweetener, if needed.
Once the mixture is fluffy and smooth, transfer it to a serving dish or use it immediately as a topping for your favorite desserts.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir gently before reuse if it settles slightly.
