If you’re like me, you’ve probably got a few containers of Yoplait® yogurt in your refrigerator at all times. They’re great for breakfast with your favorite granola, or an afternoon pick-me-up, but have you ever wanted a more dessert-y yogurt? Something with a little more oomph? This Peach Yogurt Panna Cotta is a delicious alternative.
Let’s be honest, people… the best part of fruit filled yogurts — is the fruit, right? Little nuggets of sweet, tanginess that up the ante in your morning routine. So when Yoplait® added more fruit to its Original yogurt, I felt like “BONUS!” More fruit? You better believe it. Do what tastes right! And with more fruit in the yogurt, this panna cotta is even better!
Being from the South, I’m partial to peach, so for this dessert, I used two containers of Yoplait® Original Harvest Peach and blended it with a little cream. If you want to amp up the peach flavor, add some peach schnapps — not necessary, but delicious.
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin water and lemon juice and set aside for a few minutes to bloom. Meanwhile, heat the remainder of the cream and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved and whisk in the gelatin mixture.
Add the gelatin-cream combo to the yogurt and whisk until smooth.
Ladle the custard into prepared ramekins and chill until firm. That’s it! The gelatin takes care of the rest — creating a soft, lush custard that will melt in your mouth.
For a festive garnish, slice some peaches and macerate them in honey. It’s not required, it’s just good. This panna cotta is lusciously creamy and studded with ripe fruit. While it’s elegant enough for company, I enjoyed mine curled up on the couch while binge watching Netflix.

This dessert looks amazing. I love panna cotta but have never made it with yogurt. I am definitely saving this one for peach season. This looks delicious for spring and summer get togethers.

What a lovely dessert! Yoplait is one of my favorites, and especially the peach! How great to be able to incorporate it into this treat!
I love panna cotta and peaches but I would never thought that you can actually make one from the yogurt. That’s genius and I’m sure my picky 4 year old would love it.
Wow this sounds very delicious and interesting… i m looking forward to try this lovely dessert soon!!

The peach sounds so good! I would love to try this!
Your panna cotta looks simply delicious – so refreshing and I really love the texture and flavors combo. Peach and yogurt go just perfectly together, but I never tried making panna cotta with them. Great photos too!
Glad you like it, Natalie! Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, and the yogurt adds a tartness to this panna cotta!
