Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of low-fat milk and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continuously whisk the mixture as it begins to heat up.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken to your desired consistency. Remove from heat immediately to prevent over-thickening.
Once slightly cooled, whisk in 1/4 cup of plain non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Taste and add a pinch (1/8 teaspoon) of salt if desired, for added flavor. Use immediately, or let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
