This Sugar Free Greek Yogurt Frosting recipe is a nice twist on a basic idea.
Greek Yogurt gives this frosting a balance to something that is normally really sweet.
Sugar Free Greek Yogurt Frosting
This is a really nice white frosting idea that is also sugar free.
I like that a white frosting goes with about everything that we bake.
Greek Yogurt gives this frosting a ‘healthy glow’ in my opinion.
However, I happen to be big fan of Greek Yogurt in general. You should know that the Greek Yogurt in this recipe will need to be strained to get rid of extra liquid. You can strain it overnight in your refrigerator.
You will need a few items for this recipe.
To strain your yogurt you can use one of these items. Or you could make an impromptu strainer using a coffee filter, cheesecloth, or a really strong paper towel. Simply, line your strainer with the filter of choice and place your yogurt in the filtered strainer overnight. I would cover this as well.
Also you will need powdered sugar.
You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online.

The recipe for Sugar Free Greek Yogurt Frosting
What you will need to make this
You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online.
Ingredients
- Strained Greek Yogurt- 1 Cup. I use nonfat plain yogurt.
- Sugar Free Powdered Sugar- 1 1/4 cups. You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online.
- Cream Cheese- 1 8 ounce package, softened to room temperature.
- Vanilla Extract-1 teaspoon (Can use alternative flavor).
- Milk- optional for thinning if needed. 1 tsp at a time.
How to make Sugar Free Greek Yogurt Frosting
- If not already strained, strain your yogurt. Simply place a strainer in a bowl or cup. Line the strainer with cheesecloth, a coffee filter, or sturdy paper towel. Fill the lined strainer with your yogurt and cover. Allow this to drain overnight. For best results, strain the yogurt. However, you can simply use an 8 ounce flavored yogurt and omit the vanilla extract (it’s a cheat).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the powdered sugar,cream cheese, and extract. This won’t be a perfect cream as there is more powdered sugar than cream cheese and vanilla.
- Stir in the Greek Yogurt and mix until lumps are gone and you have your desired consistency. If the consistency seems too thick, simply add a teaspoon at a time of milk.
- Refrigerate this frosting.
