FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt is thicker and provides a creamier texture and higher protein content, which is key to this recipe.
What if I don’t have a kitchen torch?
You can simply microwave the bowl for about 20 seconds to melt and soften the marshmallows, mimicking the toasted effect.
