In itself, a cup of yogurt is an absolutely, tasty dessert. Taking things a notch higher to reveal even more yogurty goodness is by far a delight.

Will you be hosting an event soon? Are you unsure of what dessert to treat your guests to? This piece is for you! Read, be inspired, and go on to wow your guests with the best of yogurt desserts. Thank me later.

1. Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

Greek yogurt cheesecake sounds like a dream. It’s creamy, tasty, and good for you. With no eggs or cream cheese, you will still get that creamy and custardy texture that you can’t get enough of. Plus, the dessert has a lot of protein thanks to Greek yogurt, which makes it healthy.

To make this cheesecake, you need to keep it in the fridge for at least 8 hours. The wait is worth it because by then, it will be perfectly firm and even tastier!

2. Greek Yogurt Chocolate Pudding

Looking for a great, simple, and chocolatey dessert? This dish is your ticket. No cooktop is necessary, and all the ingredients could simply be in your pantry right now. This dessert is light yet creamy with a wonderful choco flavor from cocoa.

Furthermore, the full-fat Greek yogurt lends a delicate sour taste. The greatest part is it suddenly transforms into a mousse if you put it in the fridge for a few minutes!

3. Blueberry Yogurt Swirl Popsicles

These popsicles are such a treat to eat with their creamy texture, vivid flavors, and attractive, swirly design!

They’re fantastic as a summer treat, but of course, you can prepare them any time you need a fast cure for your sweet cravings. Any yogurt works great for this recipe, although you may want to pick a blueberry-flavored one for an added kick!

4. Yogurt Cupcakes

Delicious, fluffy vanilla cupcakes with strawberries icing — aren’t they a lovely treat? The ganache is light and velvety, adorned with fresh pieces of strawberries. If you happen to love cupcakes, these yogurt cupcakes check all the boxes: soft, light, and velvety. They’re also a snap to create, and you’ll be done in less than an hour.

5. Blueberry Yogurt Custard Tart

You can’t eat too much of this dessert because it’s so good! It’s also the kind of tart you’ll want to make again. You can do it since it’s simple.

Prepare all of the ingredients ahead of time, and you’ll be done in under an hour! The end product is a crunchy-creamy dessert with a blast of blueberry flavor and sweet-tangy yogurt overtones.

6. Lemon-Yogurt Crumb Cake

This beautiful lemon cake is the perfect dessert for a spring or summer gathering. This delicacy, with its lemon curd filling and powdered sugar on top, will have your guests asking for seconds.

7. Apple Butter Doughnuts with Salted-Caramel Glaze

Another surprising combo, these handmade apple butter doughnuts go wonderfully with yogurt. We advise taking these to your next fall picnic or tailgate party.

8. Strawberry-And-Pistachio Frozen Yogurt Bark

This bark is just frozen sweetened Greek yogurt that has been spread out on a sheet pan and sprinkled with dried fruit and nuts. That means you may play with it by adding a touch of cinnamon or another sweet spice or switching out the dried fruit and nuts.

9. Honeyed Phyllo Stacks with Pistachios, Spiced Fruit & Yogurt

With the addition of dried fruit and lemon-scented yogurt, these exquisite stacks are evocative of baklava. All of the components may be made ahead of time, so all you have to do when it’s time for dessert is put them together.

10. Yogurt Bites

This colorful dessert has a rainbow of colors, which makes them very appealing to kids. It’s best to use Greek yogurt so the bites don’t get too wet. You can also try thick flavored yogurts, but the plain one works well with all kinds of fruit purees, like strawberries. If you want your food to taste better, don’t forget to add your favorite sweetener.

11. Lemon Tiramisu

This festive dessert just takes 15 minutes to put together thanks to the pre-packaged ladyfinger biscotti. While you’re enjoying your dinner, chill it in the refrigerator and then serve it as a dessert to your guests.

12. One-Bowl Yogurt and Honey Olive Oil Cake

Olive oil and a pinch of fresh thyme lend a delicious savory accent that levels out all the honey within this Mediterranean-inspired cake. Add fresh fruit and an extra scoop of yogurt to the sliced bread before serving.
