Chef’s Secret

For a richer, thicker peach yogurt, drain it through cheesecloth overnight to create a 'labneh-style' strained yogurt perfect for dips or spreads.

Substitutions

Best Match

Plain Yogurt + Fresh Peaches

1:1 yogurt

Offers fresh flavor, allows control over sweetness and peach quantity.

Peach Applesauce

1:1 (for moisture)

Good for baking or as a fruit component, lacks protein and tanginess of yogurt.

Dairy-Free Peach Yogurt

1:1

Vegan alternative, similar texture and flavor profile, check ingredients for base.

Fruit Curd (Peach)

1:2 (less)

Intense peach flavor, very rich and sweet, suitable for dessert fillings.

Buying Guide

Look for brands with fewer added sugars and actual fruit pieces. Check for live and active cultures. Consider Greek yogurt for higher protein.
