How to Make Fluffy Yogurt
- 1. Add Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl.
- 2. Whisk vigorously for 1–2 minutes, until the yogurt looks lighter in color and airy. If you
have a hand mixer, beat on medium speed for 30–45 seconds.
- 3. Keep whipping until it holds soft peaks and looks fluffy, like a mousse.
- 4. Taste and adjust sweetness. If it’s too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon milk to loosen.
- 5. Spoon into a bowl and add toppings like berries and granola.
- 6. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
Tips for Perfect Fluffy Yogurt
- Start with thick yogurt—thin yogurt won’t whip as fluffy.
- Whisk hard and fast; the air is what creates the fluffy texture.
- Use a hand mixer if you want extra airy peaks with less effort.
- Add toppings right before eating so they stay crisp.
- If it tastes too tangy, add a little more honey and vanilla.

Make-Ahead & Freezing
Fluffy yogurt is best right after whipping. If you need to prep ahead, store sweetened
