Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This aerates the yogurt, enhancing its texture and blending the flavors well.
- Serve or Store: You can enjoy the whipped yogurt immediately, or transfer it to the refrigerator to chill and thicken slightly for later use.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Before serving, consider garnishing with extra lemon zest, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey to add color and complementary flavors that enhance the presentation and taste.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier texture or low-fat for a lighter option.
- Adjust the honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- If fresh lemon isn’t available, bottled lemon juice can be used but may slightly alter the flavor.
- This recipe is best served chilled but can be eaten immediately if desired.
- Try adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or toasted nuts for extra texture and nutrition.
