Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt is much thicker, which gives this dessert its structure and rich mouthfeel. Regular yogurt is thinner and will result in a looser, more liquid fluff. If you only have regular yogurt, strain it through a cheesecloth for a few hours to thicken it before using.
Is this dessert gluten-free?
The base recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as your yogurt and whipped topping are gluten-free. If adding graham crackers or granola, ensure they are certified gluten-free, or simply use chopped nuts instead.
How can I make this dairy-free?
Use a thick, plain plant-based yogurt (coconut or almond-based work well) and a dairy-free whipped topping. The texture will differ slightly, but the flavor can be just as delicious.
My fluff turned out too runny. What went wrong?
This can happen if the yogurt wasn’t thick enough, the whipped topping was overmixed and deflated, or the fruit released a lot of juice. Next time, make sure to use thick Greek yogurt, fold the topping in gently, and drain any very juicy fruit before adding.
Can I use frozen blueberries in the swirl?
Absolutely. Simmer frozen blueberries with a little sweetener and lemon juice until thickened, then cool completely before swirling. This homemade sauce is actually my favorite way to make the recipe.
