![]() Skim Milk is not a true substitute for heavy cream but it can help add a nice, creamy taste to some puréed soups (like butternut squash) when the milk is added just at the end of cooking. If the consistency of your renovated dish seems a little "off," try cutting back on the sour cream and subbing some for plain fat-free yogurt or fat-free mayonnaise instead.įat-Free Mayonnaise is far from the real thing, but if you flavor it with a homemade pesto sauce, fresh dill or even minced red onion, it can be much more than just a passable substitute. ![]() One note: If regular fat-free yogurt is too "runny" for you, try plain nonfat Greek-style yogurt instead which is creamier and has a thicker consistency.įat-Free Sour Cream can be used for much more than dip recipes – it can add a little creaminess to your favorite chicken, tuna or potato salad recipes, and smoothness to frittatas. Try flavoring some with fresh basil, ginger and sugar substitute for a refreshing sauce for grilled fruit. Plain Fat-Free Yogurt is so versatile that it can be used to tenderize meat, add thickness to sauces (instead of heavy cream), replace some mayonnaise and sour cream in dips, and serve as a base for salad dressings and marinades. Your best bets are to use fat-free shredded cheese in a baked dish so it's mixed in with other ingredients, or to sprinkle some on top of dishes for a dash of color. You can purée skim ricotta until smooth and use it as a base for dip recipes, too.įat-Free Cheese (American, Cheddar, etc.) does not work well as toppings in baked recipes since it does not melt and bubble like regular – or even low fat – cheese (although broiling does help the cheese to brown a bit). Beat some with Splenda and ground cinnamon for a lovely fruit dip or fruit compote topping, or substitute skim ricotta for regular ricotta in your favorite (whole-wheat) lasagna recipe. Here's how nonfat sour cream, skim milk and fat-free yogurt (to name a few) can help you work wonders in the kitchen.įat-Free Ricotta Cheese can be used in both sweet and savory preparations. But creamy, flavorful recipes are not lost on the Plan. In the world of light cooking, swapping olive oil for butter is one thing using fat-free cheese instead of regular cheese is another.
