YOGURT CHEESE

Yogurt cheese is one of the most versatile foods you can have in your kitchen! You can use it as a replacement for cream cheese and sour cream and you can use it to make spreads, dips, whipped cream and cake frosting!

Ingredients
 
 2 cups / 480 ml low-fat plain yogurt without gelatin

Preparation
 
  1. Place yogurt in a fine mesh sieve or colander lined with two layers of cheesecloth. Place the sieve over a large bowl to catch the liquid that drips out of the yogurt. Place this set-up in the refrigerator and let stand overnight.
  2. Discard the liquid in the bowl below and you are left with rich, creamy yogurt cheese in the cheesecloth.


Yield: 1 cup (240 mL)
