Learn how to make the yummiest Peach Yogurt with just a few ingredients to serve fruit-on-the-bottom style, mixed together, in a pouch, or in a bowl with a spoon. This is fast, easy to store, and works with fresh or frozen peaches.
After loving my Blueberry Yogurt and Strawberry Yogurt, I have been eager to try a similar method using stone fruit, and this peach version does not disappoint. It’s one of our favorite ways to flavor plain yogurt and the fruit taste is so darn good.
This recipe creates a homemade Peach Yogurt that’s similar to store-bought fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt, but the peach flavor is fresh and bright. It’s a great way to use seasonal fruit or to use up frozen peaches, depending on what you have access to, and it works blended smooth or with a chunkier fruit base.
You can even make this with dairy-free yogurt as needed. Try this yogurt for kids (or yourself!) to serve as part of breakfast or snack.

- Honey or maple syrup (optional): Depending on the flavor of the fruit, you can sweeten to taste with a little honey (for kids over age 1) or maple syrup.
- Whole-milk plain yogurt: You can use regular or Greek-style yogurt according to your preference. (You can also use vanilla yogurt if your family prefers.)

Favorite Peach Yogurt
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches (about 2 medium fresh peaches)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
Instructions
- If using fresh peaches, halve and remove the pits. Add the fruit to a blender with the lemon juice, if using, and puree smooth.
- Place the peach puree into a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the puree starts to thicken. (Briefly cooking the puree intensifies the peach flavor.) Toward the end of cooking, when you stir with a spatula, you should be able to drag it through the pan and see the bottom briefly.
- Turn off heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Sweeten to taste with honey (for kids over age 1) or maple syrup.
- Divide the peach puree and yogurt among storage containers. Serve or store in the fridge and serve cold.

This recipe is sooo good! I look forward to peach season just to make this!
Do you think the fruit component would freeze well? I’m thinking bulk making, freezing in cubes, and adding to yogurt as a way to rotate flavors.
Yes, totally!
Do you think you could do this same process but with frozen then thawed mixed berries to top on yogurt?
Sure!
