Unique and Delicious Yogurt Recipes (2024)

The beauty of a good yogurt parfait is that they’re full of delicious flavour but they’re healthier than most other sweet and yummy snacks. If all you’ve ever made yourself are the kind of regular mixed berry and vanilla yogurt mixes you see at Starbucks or McDonalds, however, then you’re missing out on half the fun of yogurt parfaits! What’s that? You’re so in love with yogurt that you wish you could put it into other types of dishes too? Well, we have good news for you!

Check out these 15 amazingly delicious recipes that involve yogurt in more mouthwatering capacities than you’ll even realize were possible.

1.Coconut almond Greek yogurt

Thick, creamy vanilla Greek yogurt is the best base for all kinds of parfait recipes, but it’s especially sweet and delicious paired with almonds and topped with shaved coconut! Consider dropping a dollop of your favourite jam or a few sliced of pineapple, mango, or another tropical fruit in too! Check out howSimply Tara Lynnmade this parfait.

7.Greek yogurt with warm blackberry and blueberry sauce

Just because mixed berry parfaits are probably the kind you see most often in stores and restaurants doesn’t mean they’re not delicious and you shouldn’t make them at home! Here’s a more gourmet version of that classic, involving vanilla Greek yogury, whole blackberries, and a stunningly sweet blackberry blueberry sauce. Check out how it’s made on My Recipes.

8.Lemon curd and yogurt fool

Sometimes a yogurt parfait is a healthy breakfast snack, but other times it’s a deliciously sweet dessert option! This incredible lemon curd and yogurt fool by BBC Good Food is the latter and we just can’t stop thinking about that juicy raspberry topping!

9.Cherry frozen yogurt pie

You might have had “froyo” at an ice cream parlor before, but if you’ve never tried actually freezing your own yogurt at home before then you’re really missing out! To make up for it, we suggest not just freezing some yogurt, but making it into a delicious frozen cherry pie, like this one from Cook the Story.

10.Greek yogurt with pistachios and honey

Are you a huge fan of savory and sweet flavours together in one place? Then we’d be willing to bet that you’ll love this idea of combining pistachios and honey in Greek yogurt! If you like a more savory taste make it with plain yogurt and if you prefer things a little sweeter then try vanilla. Check it all out on Fine Dining Lovers.

Nutritioulicious walks you through the whole process.
