Yogurt Cheese

Since we are trying to limit our intake of unhealthy fats like cheese and sour cream, here is something I just found out about!

Yogurt Cheese


YIELD: 1 cup
PREPARATION TIME: overnight
COOKING TIME: 0 minutes




Details
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!
Originally from The Eat-Clean Diet® Cookbook
Ingredients
• 2 cups / 480 ml low-fat plain GREEK yogurt with NO gelatin
  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.
I have flavored mine with fresh garlic and chives to be like cream cheese. I can't wait to see how the other things taste.
