FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt is thicker and higher in protein, which helps achieve the fluffy, creamy texture. Using regular yogurt may result in a thinner consistency and less protein.
Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free?
You can try substituting cream cheese and Greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives made from coconut or almond milk, but the texture and flavor may differ slightly.
