Related Plain Yoghurt Ingredients
Buttermilk is thinner and sharper than plain yoghurt. To use yoghurt in place of buttermilk, stir 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk into 1 cup of yoghurt to match the pourable texture; flavour stays close. See buttermilk in cups.
Cream cheese is denser and richer than plain yoghurt (230 g vs 258 g per cup). Yoghurt won't hold a piped shape, so swap with care: it works in batters and dressings but not in stiff frostings or no-bake cheesecake fillings. See cream cheese in cups.
Greek yoghurt is strained, so it's thicker and slightly denser than plain yoghurt (260 g vs 258 g per cup) with a richer mouthfeel. Swap 1:1 in cakes and quick breads; for dressings or marinades you may want to thin Greek yoghurt with a splash of milk. See greek yoghurt in cups.
Sour cream is cultured cream with a higher fat content than plain yoghurt, so it tastes richer and feels thicker on the spoon. They are close in weight (250 g vs 258 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in cakes and dressings; sour cream gives a milder tang and a denser dip. See sour cream in cups.
