Deliciously Decadent Yogurt Cheese

Keep yogurt cheese on hand at all times! You can also find thickened Greek-style yogurt at many grocery stores today if you prefer, but making your own is super easy and inexpensive.

Servings: Depends on amount strained
Serving Size: Depends on amount strained
Volume: 1/2 of amount strained (1 cup of yogurt equals 1/2 cup cheese)
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 4 to 8 hours depending on amount strained

Directions
Place the yogurt in a yogurt strainer or in several layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter placed in a colander. Place the colander over a bowl to reduce the whey and make it a thicker consistency. Set in the refrigerator to drain. When ready to use, discard the whey.

Why We Love It
We never have to feel guilty eating sour cream ever again. And we don’t have to mourn the loss of the creamy deliciousness of it. This is the perfect substitute.
