WHO IS THE THICKEST OF THEM ALL? 🥊🥛
We had a customer ask us recently which of our yoghurts is actually the thickest 🤔
And contrary to what the name might suggest... it’s our Greek 😅
Our Thick & Creamy is the OG Cyclops recipe, first introduced to Kiwi fridges back in 1988. It’s a traditional yoghurt made simply with milk & cultures.
Over almost 40 years, we’ve perfected our fermentation process to create an incredibly thick (and creamy 😛) yoghurt without needing to add thickeners, gelatine or other texturising ingredients.
Our Greek yoghurt takes things one step further.
Greek yoghurt is strained to remove some of the whey (liquid), concentrating the yoghurt and creating that extra-dense, extra-thick texture. Straining also concentrates the protein and changes the flavour, giving our Greek a little more tang than the original T&C.
So yes... we realise it`s a bit puzzling having a yoghurt called Thick & Creamy that isn’t actually our thickest yoghurt 😂
We’ve talked about changing the name since introducing our Greek, but Thick & Creamy has been around for almost 40 years, and we don’t want to confuse our loyal customers 🫶
And when it comes to a traditional, unstrained yoghurt?
She’s still VERY thick. And VERY creamy 🤤
So, which corner are you in?

There`s something about a cake that`s soft, buttery and just barely holding it together that makes a Sunday feel like a Sunday. 🍰
This one`s made with our Vanilla Bean Greek Yoghurt, which keeps it wonderfully moist, and layered through with a cinnamon nut streusel for crunch in every slice. Serves 8-10.
CAKE
◼ 115g unsalted butter, softened
◼ 200g caster sugar
◼ 2 large eggs, room temp
◼ 270g Cyclops Vanilla Bean Greek Yoghurt
◼ 125ml milk
◼ 2 tsp vanilla extract
◼ 1 tsp baking soda
◼ 250g plain flour
◼ 1½ tsp baking powder
◼ ½ tsp fine sea salt
◼ ½ tsp ground cinnamon
CINNAMON STREUSEL
◼ 50g plain flour
◼ 40g brown sugar
◼ 25g caster sugar
◼ 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon
◼ Pinch of fine sea salt
◼ 35g cold unsalted butter, cubed
◼ 30g pecans or walnuts, chopped
METHOD
◼ Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 20cm springform tin and line with baking paper.
◼ For the streusel, combine flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Rub in butter until coarse crumbs form, stir through nuts, then refrigerate.
◼ Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Add yoghurt and milk and mix well.
◼ Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl, then fold into the wet mix until just combined.
◼ Spread half the batter into the tin, scatter over one-third of the streusel, top with remaining batter, then the rest of the streusel.
◼ Bake 50-60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cover loosely with foil if it browns too fast.
◼ Cool in the tin 15 minutes before turning out. Serve warm with extra yoghurt on the side.
