Many people never use it for any purpose other than as a spread instead of butter, cream cheese and mayonnaise. Since YoChee is less tart than the yogurt it came from, it is also an excellent base for rich dips and many flavorful spreads. Its milder flavor and creamier texture make YoChee a perfect baked potato topping<br /><br />Furthermore, with YoChee you can create numerous simple dishes that you thought you could only make with high-fat foods. For example, it excels when it comes to creamy salad dressings and is an ideal replacement for some or all of the mayonnaise in your favorite egg, macaroni, tuna or chicken salads, where it improves the flavor, texture and nutritional value. With YoChee you can also make delicious dessert toppings that have no fat and no artificial ingredients.<br /><br />YoChee can similarly enhance beans, pasta and grains, either during cooking or at the table. Because YoChee is more heat-tolerant than yogurt-which tends to curdle in hot foods-you can prepare numerous creamy dishes without depending on high-fat ingredients. You will be amazed by the taste transformation that takes place by just adding a few spoonfuls of YoChee to stews, chili, soups, rice or pasta dishes. Likewise, you can use it to produce creamy soups and sauces. YoChee also makes vegetables more attractive by replacing butter and high-fat sauces as a flavoring.<br /><br />When used in frozen desserts and puddings, YoChee imparts a rich, smooth texture. In baking, it produces cakes with a tender crumb-much like sour cream does, but without the all the fat and calories.
