Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional for added tang)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and powdered sugar.
Using a whisk or a fork, mix the two ingredients until smooth and well combined. Make sure there are no lumps of powdered sugar remaining.
Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor. If desired, add the lemon juice for a slight tangy kick, and mix again until fully incorporated.
If the icing is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of water or milk at a time to reach your desired consistency. Conversely, if it is too thin, add more powdered sugar in small increments.
Once the icing is at the desired consistency, it is ready to use. Drizzle it over your baked goods or spread it with a spatula for a smooth finish.
Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before reusing.
