How to make your own Greek yogurt frosting:
Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese Frosting:
It can be soy-free, oil-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, egg-free, and sugar-free
Above, I used it to frost a Low Fat Banana Mug Cake, shown above.
The yogurt takes the place of butter or shortening found in traditional frosting recipes, adding creaminess and texture without all the unhealthy fat.
Many readers have asked for a soy-free version of my original healthier cream cheese frosting recipe.
So, with leftover homemade yogurt after making Greek Yogurt Mac & Cheese, I gave the idea of how to make greek yogurt frosting a spin. And do you know where I ended up using the rest of this frosting???
Carrot cake cupcakes! It’s almost Easter, which clearly means carrot cake needs to make an appearance on the site.
So that will happen soon.
Very soon.
Keep your eyes peeled—no pun intended.
Edit:Â Here is the healthy carrot cake cupcakes recipe.
Greek Yogurt Frosting
How To Make Greek Yogurt Frosting
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp cream cheese (such as Trader Joes vegan)
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt – I used dairy-free homemade Greek yogurt
- pinch uncut stevia OR 4-5Â tbsp powdered sugar
- scant 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Blend all ingredients together until completely smooth. If a thinner frosting is desired, you can add a little milk of choice to thin it out. If using this greek yogurt cream cheese frosting to ice cakes or cookies, it’s best to serve the items immediately after frosting. Refrigerate leftover frosting for up to 4 days.

This frosting looks simply splendid! And those cinnamon rolls! Ooh, I’ve GOT to get your cookbook!
That is such a cool idea and healthy too! 🙂
I made this to go with your cinnamon roll baked oatmeal. I just realized that in the last five days I’ve made six of your recipes! (This frosting, the oatmeal, your peanut butter bars, greek yogurt macaroni, Texas sheet cake, and your vanilla chai shake). They’ve all turned out really well! Thanks for posting!
Can I use vanilla flavored greek yogurt and take out the added sugar and vanilla?
I love the idea of this. Can’t wait for your carrot cupcake recipe. Sounds delicious!
I could still taste the yogurt in the frosting. Will try it with vanilla flavored yogurt next time maybe that would help mask the taste. But really great alternative to regular frosting!
Would this freeze well??
I am making this for my 1 year old and we have been eating a high fat content yogurt instead of greek yogurt. can I use a regular yogurt instead of greek yogurt? thank you
I want to make your zucchini cake and wondered if I could use Fage 0% greek yogurt in place of the homemade version? I’m just desiring to make it without the wait. Thank you it looks so good!! Love your site!
