Assistant Cook
hello.
i am about to bake a recipe which i used to use many years ago, from the Joy of cooking.. Dear Irma( author of the Joy) was indeed the first "Queen of cookbooks".. and her recipes are superb .. and i loved all the additional information in her cookbooks like measuring information , etc.
but something I do not recall seeing in her 'substitutions for ingredients list'
was: substitutes for heavy cream.
I am about to make an apple crisp, using crushed zweiback ground with almonds as a crust. other ingredients in the crust are butter.. heaps.
i guess as this is a rather dry crust, she recommends using a half cup of heavy cream..
my question
can i subsitute a half cup of yogurt or greek yogurt for the heavy cream.
many thanks
yum.
