If you’ve never had homemade whipped greek yogurt, you are missing out. If you’ve never had homemade strawberry sauce, you are also missing out. Combine the two, and we’ve reached a whole new level of YOU NEED TO TRY THIS.

First, the strawberry sauce

To get this dessert cup party started, begin with the strawberry sauce. You should make the strawberry sauce first so it has plenty of time to cool before getting mixed in with the whipped Greek yogurt.

Place all of the strawberry sauce ingredients except the starch slurry in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir it frequently and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries are very soft. Add the starch slurry and simmer for about two more minutes. That’s it! No blending or extra equipment required. For more detailed instructions, visit the post on Easy Strawberry Sauce.

For this recipe, the strawberry sauce needs to be cooled a bit so it doesn’t heat the whipped Greek yogurt when the Strawberry Whipped Yogurt Cups are assembled. One option is to make the strawberry sauce a day ahead of time. The other option is to put the sauce in a shallow dish or bowl and stick it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes until chilled to at least room temperature.

Next, the whipped greek yogurt

Once the strawberry sauce is nearly chilled, gather your mixer and ingredients to make the whipped greek yogurt. Visit How to Make Whipped Greek Yogurt for a more detailed post and recipe video specifically showing how to make the whipped Greek yogurt portion of this recipe.

BY THE WAY: I’ve also made a few other versions of the whipped Greek yogurt, including Pumpkin Spice Whipped Greek Yogurt and Peppermint Chocolate Whipped Greek Yogurt!!

Add all ingredients for the whipped Greek yogurt to a stand mixer bowl, or you can use a hand mixer, whichever you have available. Start slowly, then increase mixing speed to high once the liquid begins to mix into the yogurt. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes, pausing to push down the sides and give it a quick stir. Blend for another 2 minutes. And that’s your whipped Greek yogurt!

Here’s where we begin to merge the two recipes into one delicious creation: Take about 1/4 cup of your (at least room temperature) strawberry sauce and mix it into the yogurt. And OMG strawberry whipped Greek yogurt. Hi, nice to meet you.

Finally, Strawberry Whipped Yogurt Cups

Here’s the fun part: Assemble your Strawberry Whipped Yogurt Cups by splitting up the rest of the strawberry whipped Greek yogurt and the strawberry sauce between four cups with lids – make sure they hold at least 8 ounces. I use these Half Pint Wide Mouth Mason Jars (affiliate link!) – I found them at my local grocery store for a great price! Any cup or bowl style container with lid will work just fine.

For a cute parfait-style layer, I did yogurt-sauce-yogurt, plus some fresh cut strawberries for decoration. Feel free to go all fruit on the bottom or all fruit on the top!

How long do these Strawberry Whipped Yogurt Cups last?

These cups will last up to 5 days in the fridge using freshly made ingredients, but HONESTLY NO. There are only four servings and there’s no reason it should be in your fridge, uneaten, on day five. (I mean no offense, this is just really good.)

Can you freeze these Strawberry Whipped Yogurt Cups?

I have not tried it, but I would not freeze these cups. The strawberries would do okay, but I’m afraid the whipped Greek yogurt would lose all texture. If you do want to try this, let me know how it goes in the comments below!!
