Yogurt Frosting Recipe: Your Cupcakes, Only Lighter
When cream cheese or buttercream frosting seem too heavy, or, you’re looking for a frosting recipe with a slight tangy flavor, yogurt frosting may be the way to go.
Yogurt frosting is an excellent compliment to fruit-flavored cupcakes such as berry or citrus. It can also be a substitute for anywhere you’d use cream cheese frosting, such as on a carrot cake. It works best with sweet flavors like a dark chocolate or honey, giving balance to each bite.
Be sure to use a thicker yogurt to keep frosting spreadable. We recommend this for cupcakes over full-size cakes due to the thinner consistency. Try to keep the frosting cool so it doesn’t drip down the sides.

Greek Yogurt Frosting Recipe
Here is the recipe for the Greek yogurt frosting from Souvlaki for the Soul, reprinted with my notes.
1 C Greek yogurt (I used Stonyfield Farms)
A good splash of vanilla extract (I used 1 t)
1/2 C powered sugar, sifted
1. Whisk all ingredients until they become a bit thick.
2. Place in the fridge to thicken even more (at least 30 minutes).
3. Spread on cupcakes.
