Greek Yogurt for Desserts Greek Yogurt for Desserts
This is an ingredient that has featured in many of my family's desserts for over 15 years now. After draining the yogurt you can save the whey that has collected underneath, which is quite good for you, and use it in a drink or other cooking. Here is a recipe for pancakes with whey: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/en/recipes/147181-black-sesame-seed-banana-pancakes-with-whey500 ml yogurt will yield about 200 g of yogurt cream.

Ultra-Healthy Yogurt Cheese Cream Ultra-Healthy Yogurt Cheese Cream
I wanted to enjoy a smooth mouth feel like whipped cream, without using cream. The whey that comes out is nutritious, so don't throw it out. Drink it as a sour drink, or turn it into whey-lemon jello, or lemon-whey-milk jello, which are all delicious. Please take a look at the referred recipes.You can reduce the condensed milk a little to taste. I specified 1 tablespoon of condensed milk for every 100g before draining of yogurt to make it easy to remember. Try making this with various flavored yogurts instead of plain yogurt to enjoy various flavors. If you use flavored yogurts, omit the condensed milk. If you add skim milk powder, the cream becomes a bit stiffer and easier to pipe out. Recipe by Spain -

Raisin Yogurt Raisin Yogurt
I love raisin butter, but I can't help eating too much of it.If I use yogurt instead, I don't have to worry if my kids gorge themselves on it!!I made this with plain yogurt, and the result was thick and rich tasting.Make sure to drain off the yogurt whey completely.You can adjust the amount of raisins, but the raisins absorb moisture from the yogurt, so the final texture will differ if you add more or less than the recipe.Other dried fruits are delicious in this too. You can omit the salt if you prefer. Recipe by saco mama -
Cream Cheese Yogurt Muffins Cream Cheese Yogurt Muffins
I wanted to make a dessert with salt-preserved cherry blossoms. I made these muffins as I though the salt-preserved cherry blossoms would go really well with cream cheese and yogurt. Topping with cherry blossoms, they became a perfect dessert for spring. Check out my recipe for "Cherry Blossoms Preserved in Salt".Cream the butter and sugar really well until the mixture becomes white and pale. Mixing the flour too much makes the batter heavy, so fold the flour in gently, leaving some unmixed. I wanted to make them light-colored muffins, so I didn't use eggs. Cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Recipe by Mimato -

Whey Yogurt Drink Whey Yogurt Drink
I thought I wanted to have a delicious drink made from the whey of drained yogurt.This is too simple, so I don't have hints to share, lol. If I had to say something, mix well and make sure the honey is well blended. This amount of honey brings subtle sweetness. Please adjust the sweetness as you like. Aside from honey, you can also use sugar that came with the yogurt and origo sugar sweetener, and jam. I use Pokka Lemon for the lemon juice. Recipe by Riri-beru -
Chewy Yogurt Bagels Chewy Yogurt Bagels
I like bread with yogurt in the dough, so I used plain yogurt instead of water to make these bagels.I usually set the oven to 220℃, but this time I tried it at 230℃.When shaping the bagels, make sure to fold in and secure the seams well so that they don't open up.Because the yogurt helps the dough to rise as well, I reduced the amount of yeast that I used in my other bagel recipe by 1 g. I think it's all right if you use 5 g of yeast as well. Recipe by Mihomiho mama recipes -
Yogurt Salad - Authentic Turkish Flavor Yogurt Salad - Authentic Turkish Flavor
I learned how to make this in my cooking class. I changed the ingredient amounts so that I could make it more simply at home.Turkish yogurt is acidic and thick. It has a high fat content, so the texture is smooth. If necessary, you can strain your yogurt and add lemon juice.Sour cream is not normally used in this type of salad. This is my cooking teacher's original recipe. Recipe by Kuminchan -
