5. Whipping Cream. This ingredient is optional but provides the extra "fluff" you will note in the recipe images.

And that is it! With just five ingredients and maybe ten minutes of "cooking time" you can have this tasty treat ready to devour throughout the week!

Sweetener- There are several ingredients that can aide in sweetening this treat. Honey is used in this recipe, but you can substitute for maple syrup, agave, or your favorite liquid sweetener.

Nut Butter- As mentioned, use a nut butter of your choice, sunflower butter was used in this recipe, but peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter will work great!

Extract Flavor- If you are looking for a traditional flavor, use vanilla extract that is used in this recipe. You can certainly substitute lemon, strawberry or any flavor that suits your taste!

Whipping Cream- As mentioned, this ingredient is optional but aids in a fluffy consistency for the whipped yogurt. If you need substitutes, try coconut milk or full fat milk. Here is a great article with substitutions for whipping cream.
