Recipes with yogurt and sugar substitute
Mostly desserts: 6 of the 10 recipes with a course label are desserts.
Some of these have the ingredient list only, without the method. Where we have the original source, the recipe page links to it.

Can you swap one for the other?
No. Yogurt and sugar substitute are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common
Almost everything sugar substitute carries, yogurt has too: 42 of sugar substitute's 42 flavor molecules also occur in yogurt. Among the shared key aromas is ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
