Whipped Greek Yogurt
Now there is whipped yogurt you can buy at the grocery store, but it is always filled with so much added sugar I never would buy it even though it is amazing. So I had never thought of making it at home until I saw my friend Danielle from Project Meal Plan make Homemade Whipped Greek Yogurt and I thought it was the most brilliant thing ever.
So when my friends over at Barlean’s challenged me to make something with with their Seriously Delicious CBD Lemon Drop Hemp Oil, I instantly thought it would be the perfect match…
And guess what?
It is! (was…)
NOTE: Update in spring of 2023 Barlean’s appears to no longer carry the Lemon Drop Flavor of their CBD Hemp Oil. It was perfect in this recipe but alas we must move on...
Of course you can make this by leaving out the Lemon Drop CBD, it is still equally as delicious, I promise!
If you are looking for some added benefits and this works even if you have young children I also used Barlean’s Omega Pals Lemonade Fish Oil instead to help them get a healthy dose of Omega-3’s in for the day! This product still is available.
So how do you make Whipped Greek Yogurt?
It’s quite easy! For this recipe you will need a stand mixer or an electric handheld mixer, the mixer will do all the hard work and get the greek yogurt light and airy fast!
To make the lemon whipped greek yogurt you will start with one whole lemon.
Zest the lemon into bowl of stand mixer (or large bowl with handheld mixer).
Cut the lemon in half and juice half of the lemon into the bowl. The amount of juice should be roughly 2 tablespoons. Set aside other half for another use (make yourself a glass of ice cold lemon water).
Next add greek yogurt, honey, heavy whipping cream, and the lemon drop CBD into the stand mixer.
With whisk attachment start stand mixer on low for about 10 to 15 seconds to prevent too much splashing while the ingredients mix together.
Slowly turn mixer to medium-high level (8 on a kitchen-aid). Continue to whisk for several minutes until peaks start to form in the yogurt, aka until the yogurt is fluffy and airy.
Transfer your lemon whipped greek yogurt to bowls. Best served topped with a handful of fresh berries.

Note: This recipe originally used Barlean's Lemon Drop CBD Hemp Oil. I am updating this recipe by removing it because this product no longer appears to be available for purchase. The original recipe called for 1 teaspoon Barlean's Lemon Drop CBD Hemp Oil. (I promise the recipe is still amazing without it)

Fresh Lemon Juice - Lemon juice has a fairly mild lemon flavor — mostly what it adds to this sauce is a fresh, acidic flavor and a subtle lemon flavor. It also helps thin the Greek yogurt into a smooth sauce. Fresh Lemon Zest - Lemon zest is what really adds the bright lemon flavor to this sauce.

Can yogurt be whipped without using cream? Yes; you can still make whipped yogurt without using additional heavy cream, but the end result won't hold its shape as well as a heavy cream and yogurt combination will. Just make sure you start with whole milk or low fat Greek yogurt for best results.
All you need to do is add a few tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar to the yogurt and stir it until the yogurt has thickened. The acid in the lemon juice or vinegar will cause the yogurt to thicken and separate, just like sour cream would.
What's more, Greek yogurt is lower in calories and fat and higher in protein than full-fat sour cream. Full-fat Greek yogurt contains 97 calories, 5 grams (g) of fat, and 9 g of protein per 3.5 ounces (oz.), or 100 g.
Adding lemon juice to heavy cream is a common method for making lemon whipped cream and other lemon-flavored desserts. However, adding lemon juice to heavy cream can also cause the cream to curdle, making it nearly impossible to complete your recipe.
Combine Greek yogurt, cream, sweetener, rosewater or vanilla, and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix at low speed to start, then increase to high and whip until mixture is thick and stiff, about 5 minutes.
Blend together equal parts Greek yogurt and whole milk and use it in place of the same amount of heavy cream. Note that this substitute can add thickness to dishes like soups or sauces, but it shouldn't be used in recipes that require whipping.
If you find yourself without heavy cream but need to substitute it in a recipe that calls for 1 cup of heavy cream, you can use 3/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter instead. However, it's important to note that this substitute won't whip into soft or stiff peaks regardless of how long you continue to whip it.
Full-fat Greek yogurt will offer the closest approximation of sour cream's flavor and texture, and can be used as a one-to-one replacement for sour cream. If you'd like, you can stir some heavy cream into any percentage of Greek yogurt to give it a somewhat richer body and higher fat content.
Why is my yogurt too sour or not sour enough? A. Culturing temperatures on the higher end of the range and longer culture times will yield a more sour flavored yogurt. To achieve a less sour flavor, culture at the lower end of the range or for a shorter period of time.
Go for whole-milk Greek yogurt: The yogurt closest in texture and flavor to regular sour cream is whole-milk Greek yogurt. While you can use plain regular yogurt instead, it might be worthwhile to strain some of the liquid out of it first so that it thickens up slightly.
Combine it with a creamy ingredient: Adding a creamy component can help smooth out the sourness. You can mix in a small amount of cream, sour cream, or mayonnaise to the yogurt, depending on your preferences. 4. Let it sit: Allowing the yogurt to sit at room temperature for a while can help reduce the sourness.
Greek yogurt is delicious all on its own, but tasty add-ins can elevate your yogurt to another level. Try fresh fruit, toasted nuts, fresh herbs, drizzled honey and more.
It is the quantity of the lemon juice that curdles the whey when the milk is separating. For this recipe, use use lemon skin (zested) and lemon juice to provide the lemon flavour but the actual lemon quantity in the recipe is not very high as to not curdle the yogurt.
As an additive in foods like yogurt, sausages, and soft drinks, citric acid is one of several acidulents purchased by food manufacturers. Acidulents serve several useful functions in food formulations: sterilization, bacterial stabilization, flavor fixation, flavor enhancement, and standardization of acid levels.
Lemon's antibacterial properties help reduce the appearance of blemishes to maintain flawless skin. It also has bleaching qualities which will lighten and brighten your skin. Add 1 tsp of lemon juice to a tablespoon of curd. Apply it on your face and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
It may help to lighten up the dark spots on your skin. However, lemon juice may cause an allergic reaction when you apply it to your skin as it is acidic. Hence you can use lemon juice with other mediators such as yoghurt and honey.
