This yogurt frosting could not be simpler to make! The French vanilla yogurt in this recipe pairs well with just about any dessert, but you can swap the flavor of the yogurt to pair with whatever you're making. A few ideas: Strawberry or caramel yogurt frosting would be amazing on a chocolate bundt cake, and mango or harvest peach would be lovely on lemon cake.

More About This Recipe

  • If you’re one of those people who get overwhelmed by frosting when it’s too sweet or too thick, then this light and tart yogurt frosting is for you. And even if you prefer your frosting to be over-the-top sweet and creamy, then you’ll still love this light and tart yogurt frosting. Besides its delicate texture and citrus-y taste, you’ll also find that finishing a cake with yogurt frosting actually adds moisture back into the cake which is an added bonus, because honestly, nobody likes a dry cake. And while we’re being honest, let’s just say a three-ingredient homemade frosting is just the kind of frosting we couldn’t resist. As much as we love this frosting, there’s also a place in our hearts for buttercream, whipped frosting, glaze and icing. You too? Then here are all of the frosing recipes you’ll ever need.
