Low-Cal Cream to Serve with Cornbread
Heavy cream and mascarpone are high in calories. This low-calorie cream uses drained yogurt (or yogurt cheese), but it's not sour. Use soy-based yogurt to make it even healthier. Recipe by conamonn.

Ingredients
-
1 asneeded plain yogurt (you can use low or non-fat yogurt) or 100% soy-based yogurt
-
1 asneeded skim milk powder
-
1 optional, (to taste) finely chopped sliced or processed cheese
-
1 optional, (to taste) sugar (or you favorite sweeteners)
-
1 optional, (to taste) salt
Cooking Instructions
-
1
Method 1: Add the skim milk powder ot the yogurt as well as the sugar. Leave to drain in the refrigerator and it's done.
-
2
Method 2: Drain the plain yogurt overnight in the refrigerator.
-
3
When the yogurt has decreased to half its original volume, take it out, and mix in enough skim milk powder so that the cream has a subtle sweetness and is no longer sour.
-
4
Optionally, add some finely chopped cheese.
-
5
Add sweetener to taste. If you add sugar to yogurt after it's been drained it will become more watery, so I think it's best to just sprinkle it on.
-
6
Serve with cornbread.
-
7
Even if you use 100% soy milk yogurt, if it's made with sweetened soy milk it won't taste bean-like, at all but actually quite delicious.
