[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 529226, member: 4264"] I've done this with fat free plain Greek yogurt and it indeed makes excellent replacement for sour cream and cream cheese. I make it into a sugar free and healthy fruit dip. It tastes like those sugar laden dips you can buy that I loathe. easy child's dad used to buy the individual ones and put them into her lunches if she went to school from his place. Yes it worked to get her eating fruit every day. But at a high cost. Those packaged ones were so unhealthy, sugar loaded and calorie loaded. Now I make this myself and easy child can take a small container full in her lunch and I could care less if she eats tons of it. I strain as you posted to do. Then I add fresh lemon (concentrate in a pinch. Works just as well). Then a small splash of vanilla to taste (and gives that caramel color). I add in Splenda brand brown sugar also to taste. Mix really well and I find having it sit overnight enhances flavor. It lasts well in the fridge. I put it back into the yogurt container. I've even caught easy child putting some in a bowl and adding in bananas chopped up or strawberries, and tossing in some low day granola and eating it in place of cereal erc for breakfast. Could do this in a parfait glass, layered and it would look gorgeous as a dessert that would be so healthy and fruit loaded but appears decadent. [/QUOTE]
