A delicious cream made with Greek yogurt, light, fluffy, and creamy to fill any homemade dessert, from a classic sponge cake to tiramisu. It’s excellent paired with chocolate, fresh or syrupy fruit, and much more. A delightful cream based on yogurt, hence lighter, perfect for preparing delicious spoon desserts, it can also be used to fill cannoli and cream puffs. I’ve been making a tasty Greek yogurt cream for a long time, without the need for gelatin, and I prepare it as per the recipe with just yogurt, fresh whipping cream, or whipped cream, and powdered sugar. Alternatively, it can be prepared with the addition of eggs, like the classic mascarpone cream, replacing the mascarpone with yogurt and adjusting the creaminess with added whipped cream. In both cases, the cream turns out delicious, and in this case, without eggs, it’s quicker to prepare, and it can also be flavored by adding other ingredients, such as Nutella, pistachio cream, syrupy cherries, chocolate, and so on. Let’s see how to prepare it.

Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Cream
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Tools to Prepare Greek Yogurt Cream
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Electric Whisk
Steps to Prepare Greek Yogurt Cream
Start by whipping the chilled cream from the fridge in a clean and dry high-sided bowl with electric whisks at maximum speed. I used already sweetened whipping cream, but you can also use fresh cream, in which case you’ll need to add another 30-50 g of powdered sugar.
Slowly add the yogurt and powdered sugar to the whipped cream and quickly mix with the whisks.
Store in the fridge until the cream is ready to be used.
You can enrich the cream by adding flavors or other ingredients to define its taste, such as Nutella, pistachio cream, syrupy cherries, melted chocolate, both dark and milk, and all the ingredients you desire. It’s important not to use liquid ingredients that might alter the cream’s density.
