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.

1/2 stick butter, softened
1 container (6 oz.) Yoplait® Original French vanilla yogurt

1

Using an electric hand mixture at medium speed, cream together butter and yogurt in a mixing bowl until fully combined and smooth, and no discernible pieces of butter remain.
