Low-Calorie Peach Yogurt Whip Dessert (No Baking)
Okay, imagine this: you want dessert, but you do not want to turn on the oven, wash ten dishes, or emotionally commit to a complicated recipe. You want something cold, creamy, slightly fancy-looking—and preferably low-calorie so you don’t side-eye yourself afterward.
Enter: Low-Calorie Peach Yogurt Whip Dessert.
It’s fluffy, fruity, lightly sweet, and feels like summer in a bowl. No baking. No drama. Just whip, chill, and eat like the responsible-yet-fun person you are.
Why This Recipe is Awesome
First of all, it’s no-bake, which automatically makes it superior on hot days. If a recipe requires preheating the oven when it’s 35°C outside, I’m already mad.
Second, Greek yogurt does the heavy lifting. It’s creamy, high-protein, and filling, which means this dessert actually satisfies you instead of making you hunt for snacks 10 minutes later.
Third, peaches are naturally sweet, so you don’t need much added sweetener. The flavor feels indulgent, but the calories stay in check. Love that for us.
And lastly, it looks fancy with minimal effort. Serve it in a glass, add a peach slice on top, and suddenly people think you planned this.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Short list. Friendly ingredients. Nothing you’ll regret buying.
- Low-fat Greek yogurt (1½ cups)
Thick yogurt works best. Regular yogurt will be too runny and ruin the vibe. - Fresh or canned peaches (1 cup, chopped)
If using canned, go for ones in juice—not syrup—or you’ll accidentally sabotage the “low-calorie” part. - Low-calorie sweetener (to taste)
Use sparingly. Peaches already pull their weight. - Vanilla extract (½ teaspoon)
Optional, but it makes everything taste more dessert-like. - Pinch of salt
Yes, even in dessert. It sharpens flavors. Science. - Optional: lemon juice (1 teaspoon)
Adds brightness and balances sweetness if your peaches are very ripe.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the peaches.
Chop peaches into small pieces. If they’re very juicy, pat them dry slightly. Too much liquid = sad, runny dessert. - Blend or mash half the peaches.
Blend half into a smooth puree or mash them well. This gives the whip a strong peach flavor without chunks everywhere. - Whip the yogurt.
In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth and slightly fluffy. You’re not making cream—just loosening it up. - Sweeten and flavor.
Add sweetener, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice if using. Taste. Adjust. Always taste. - Fold in peach puree.
Gently fold the blended peaches into the yogurt. Don’t overmix—swirls are cute. - Add peach chunks.
Fold in the remaining chopped peaches for texture and surprise bites. - Chill briefly.
Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. This helps it set and taste extra refreshing. - Serve and enjoy.
Spoon into bowls or glasses. Top with a peach slice if you’re feeling aesthetic.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using thin yogurt.
This is not the time for watery yogurt. Thick Greek yogurt is non-negotiable.
Over-sweetening.
Peaches are sweet already. Add sweetener gradually unless you enjoy regret.
Skipping the chill time.
Warm yogurt whip is… not it. Cold makes everything better here.
Blending all the peaches.
Texture matters. Keep some chunks unless you want baby food energy.
Ignoring balance.
If it tastes flat, it probably needs a pinch of salt or a drop of lemon.
Alternatives & Substitutions
No peaches? Mango, strawberries, or pineapple work beautifully with yogurt.
Want it dairy-free? Use thick coconut or almond yogurt, but expect a slightly different texture.
Need extra protein? Mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder (adjust sweetness accordingly).
Craving crunch? Add a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or toasted oats on top. Still light, just more interesting.
Feeling bold? Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a subtle flavor twist.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Yes. One serving is usually under 150 calories, depending on yogurt and sweetener.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Absolutely. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Will it freeze well?
Not really. Yogurt texture changes when frozen. Chill, don’t freeze.
Does it taste sour?
Nope. Peaches and sweetener balance the yogurt nicely.

You can, but then adjust sweetener. Plain yogurt gives you more control.
Is this filling?
Surprisingly yes. Protein + fruit = staying power.
