Yogurt Cheese. My New Best Friend!

Ok, so it is kind of an overstatement, but since I have started to make yogurt cheese, my life has changed (a little).

How to make...
Yogurt Cheese

Line a colander with a paper towel or cheesecloth-2 layers thick
Put plain low fat yogurt in the towel/cloth
place over a bowl to allow for drainage
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge
Drain to desired consistency



6-8 hours
Greek style yogurt consistency

8-10 hours
Sour cream like consistency

12-24 hours
Cream cheese consistency


Use in place of the above in recipes as a super healthy alternative. It makes an AWESOME onion dip!
