What's the Greek word for "yum"?

Have you tried fat free Greek yogurt yet? I actually haven't found it in the fat free variety in Vienna, but the low fat I found has less than half a gram for the whole container, so I'm calling it good. It's so much richer and creamier than normal yogurt. And when I read that you can substitute it in baking for butter, I knew I had to give it a try.



I tried this recipe from Finny Knits (warning, she uses naughty words, so scroll down to the recipe if you want to spare your eyes) and was really pleased with the results. Brian and I like gooey brownies and it was obvious from the batter that these brownies would be more cakey. So I only cooked them for about 18 minutes and they came out with a "melting cake" consistency. I know my family will know what I mean by that because we went on a cruise years ago and every night we ordered the chocolate melting cake for dessert. But in case "melting cake" doesn't mean anything to you, I imagine this recipe for baked fudge from the Pioneer Woman would be similar in texture. So not really brownies, but very good. When Brian tried them he said, "Yep, these can kill a man." And he meant it in the best possible way. I left the house shortly after taking them out of the oven and the pan was almost half way empty when I returned home a few hours later.

I think I will try the fat-free-greek-yogurt-for-butter substitution in something other than brownies -- maybe a coffee cake or pound cake. I'd love to hear if you give it a try in your recipes.
