FAQs

What happens if you add lemon juice to yogurt? ›

Fresh Lemon Juice - Lemon juice has a fairly mild lemon flavor — mostly what it adds to this sauce is a fresh, acidic flavor and a subtle lemon flavor. It also helps thin the Greek yogurt into a smooth sauce.

For curdling, I added 1/4 tsp lemon juice to 2 oz boiled milk in the sauce pan and continued stirring on heat until curdled. Use methods 3 and 4 to make small quantity yogurt which can then be used as starter yogurt for the next batch.

You can use the following variation: Whipped yogurt without cream - replace the heavy cream with the same amount of additional Greek yogurt and add an extra minute or two of mixing time.

Yes, you can mix yogurt and citrus. Because yogurt is already acidic, added citrus won't make it curdle. That's just the short answer, though. Flavor-wise, adding acid to acid can make a dish too sour.

No new substances are produced; therefore, no chemical change occurred. Sometimes combining two liquids, such as lemon juice and milk, can produce a curd- like solid. The acid in the lemon juice changes the pH of the milk. This causes proteins in the milk to clump together, creating curds.

Greek yogurt

Low-fat Greek yogurt contains twice as much satiating protein as traditional yogurt, which can keep you feeling fuller longer and control appetite. That can translate to less belly fat. Also, yogurt is rich in calcium and research has linked calcium to lower levels of abdominal fat.

Mix at low speed to start, then increase to high and whip until mixture is thick and stiff, about 5 minutes. Use immediately as a soft, whipped cream–like topping, or, to serve as a parfait, divide into serving dishes and refrigerate until thickened (roughly to 45°F/7°C).

Despite its protein content, eating Greek yogurt alone is unlikely to make a person burn more calories. But eating Greek yogurt, as part of a balanced diet that includes enough protein, fibrous carbohydrates, and healthful fats may aid weight loss and boost metabolism.

Take lukewarm milk in a bowl and squeeze out juice of half a lemon into the milk. Give a gentle stir and cover the bowl with a lid. Wrap it with a cotton cloth and set it aside for 12 hours. Wrapping the bowl with a cloth will keep the bowl warm for longer.

Can you whip milk instead of cream? ›

Similarly to half-and-half, milk makes a good heavy cream substitute when it's combined with melted butter. Combine 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup melted butter for every cup of heavy cream. This mixture is not suitable for whipping.

While not as thick and creamy as whipped cream made from heavy cream or whole milk, it is possible to make a whipped topping using skim milk. To achieve a thick, airy texture, combine skim milk and cornstarch and whip the mixture using a food processor with an emulsifying disk — a tool you can buy online.

Blend together equal parts Greek yogurt and whole milk and use it in place of the same amount of heavy cream. Note that this substitute can add thickness to dishes like soups or sauces, but it shouldn't be used in recipes that require whipping.

It is the quantity of the lemon juice that curdles the whey when the milk is separating. For this recipe, use use lemon skin (zested) and lemon juice to provide the lemon flavour but the actual lemon quantity in the recipe is not very high as to not curdle the yogurt.

An additive such as citric acid adds tartness, a seemingly unnecessary ingredient for a product that is naturally tart. But after all the other ingredients are added natural tartness often disappears.

All you need to do is add a few tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar to the yogurt and stir it until the yogurt has thickened. The acid in the lemon juice or vinegar will cause the yogurt to thicken and separate, just like sour cream would.
