Blend together equal parts Greek yogurt and whole milk and use it in place of the same amount of heavy cream. Note that this substitute can add thickness to dishes like soups or sauces, but it shouldn’t be used in recipes that require whipping.
Also know, can yogurt be whipped like cream?
Whipped Greek yogurt is simply that: yogurt, strained to remove the whey, combined with a small amount of whipping cream, and then whipped until it’s silky smooth and light. My version is a 4 ingredient blend of Greek yogurt, whipping cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Beside above, can I use Greek yogurt instead of half and half? I often substitute good yogurt or sour cream for cream and half-n-half. Either would work great in that recipe, using the same half-cup. I would eliminate the water and just use 1 & 1/2 cups of milk. Yogurt and sour cream may curdle if not careful.
Hereof, what can I use instead of heavy whipping cream?
In some recipes, you can substitute 3/4 cup milk plus 1/3 cup butter or margarine for 1 cup of heavy cream. If your recipe calls for whipping that cream, it won’t work. You need the fat that’s in heavy cream in order to get whipped volume.
Is whipped yogurt good for you?
Here’s what you should know. Whipped: Simultaneously rich and airy, this tastes more like a mousse than a healthy snack. Some whipped yogurts barely hold 3 ounces in a container, rather than the usual 6 or 8 ounces in traditional products. Less yogurt in the container means less protein and less calcium per bite.
