FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

Yes, flavored Greek yogurt can be used for added sweetness and flavor, but reduce or omit the sweetener accordingly to avoid over-sweetening.

Is this recipe suitable for vegans?

Traditional Greek yogurt is dairy-based, so this recipe is not vegan. To make it vegan, substitute with plant-based yogurt and use a vegan sweetener.
