FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt is thicker and higher in protein, so regular yogurt may result in a thinner texture. If using regular yogurt, strain it through a cheesecloth to remove excess liquid for best results.
Can I make this recipe keto-friendly?
Yes! Swap honey for a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit and use full-fat Greek yogurt and cream cheese to keep it low-carb and keto-friendly.
