Ingredients
Dairy Base
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 oz softened cream cheese
Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine Dairy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese. Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Flavorings: Add the honey, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl. Continue to mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture becomes light and fluffy.
- Chill or Serve: Serve immediately if you prefer a soft consistency, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to achieve a firmer texture. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers before serving.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate the fluff for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier result or low-fat for a lighter option.
- Fresh lemon juice adds a nice tang that balances the sweetness; adjust to taste.
- Optional garnishes can include fresh berries, whipped cream, or crushed graham crackers for added texture.
- This recipe is best served immediately or within a day for optimal freshness.
