Mock Sour Cream

Source of Recipe

Yield: 1-1/2 cups

1 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
4 teaspoons buttermilk powder
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt


In a medium-size heavy saucepan, whisk together the milk and buttermilk powder. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and let stand until the gelatin softens-about 5 minutes.

Set the pan over low heat and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the gelatin dissolves. Remove from the heat and whisk in the yogurt.

Transfer the mixture to a medium-size bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until thickened. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
