Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 240 ml full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt, chilled
  • 240 ml heavy cream or whipping cream, cold
  • 30 g powdered sugar or powdered erythritol
  • 5 ml vanilla extract
  • 5 g fresh lemon zest (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and add the vanilla extract.
  3. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, lightly stir the Greek yogurt to smooth it out.
  5. Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Sprinkle in the powdered sugar or chosen sweetener and fold gently until fully incorporated.
  7. Add lemon zest if using, folding it in for a bright flavor.
  8. Give the mixture one last gentle whip by hand or with the mixer on low speed for 10 seconds to unify everything without overworking.
  9. Let the whipped cream rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

This whipped cream is perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, or cakes. You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of powdered sugar or erythritol.
