Greek yogurt

The sheer amount of dairy products available might be bewildering and often downright confusing. When it comes to the difference between Greek yogurt and conventional yogurt, it's evident that Greek yogurt is a considerably superior alternative for replacing crème fraîche. Greek yogurt is strained several times, resulting in a thick texture that resembles crème fraîche.

It's not as smooth or mild as the genuine stuff, but it has enough tang to give recipes the depth and bite that crème fraîche adds. It's versatile enough to be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Plus, you've most likely already got a container in your fridge (since you know there's nothing like a Greek yogurt parfait for breakfast). A word of caution: this is not the time to choose a low-fat alternative. Full-fat Greek yogurt is essential for attaining the greatest results since the fat gives the creamy texture you need while also softening the otherwise overbearing acidity.
