#2- The use of a good quality full-fat Greek-style yoghurt also helps. To thicken "regular" yoghurt you can place it in a muslin bag and hang it up for an hour to allow excess water to drip out. I would not recommend using low-fat yoghurts - they use emulsifiers to make them thick and, depending on the brand, can become runny once you have added all the other ingredients.
