Serve yogurt cheese as a side to spicy and heavy foods, like chicken wings, ribs, or curries. Simply pour some olive oil on top of it and a few dashes of salt and pepper.
If you give the cheese additional time, it will firm up so much so that you can roll tablespoons of it with greased hands and make cheese balls. Place the cheese balls in a container and cover with olive oil. Use within a week, in salads, on crackers, or anywhere you'd use cream cheese or similar cheeses. Mix the yogurt cheese with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and top with olive oil and pistachios to serve a beautiful appetizer alongside fresh bread. Mix the yogurt cheese with fresh fruit, jam, or jelly, and make ice pops.
Sweet Yogurt Cheese For a sweet version that is great as a light dessert, follow this easy method: Strain the plain yogurt as directed in the recipe. After 8 hours of straining, mix into the yogurt 3 to 4 tablespoons of honey, agave, or maple syrup and allow it to keep straining for an additional 8 hours. Once the yogurt has thickened to your liking, spoon it into little bowls and add fresh fruit, lemon zest, and a teaspoon of the sweetener of choice.
I just couldn t wait for the two days. It was easy and not messy at all. I did this until there was no more water to drain. Just remember to wash your hands very well. You can instantly see how the cheese forms. I changed things up a bit though I didn't add anything to the yogurt and since I didn't have cheese cloth I used 2 paper towels. It worked great! After the yogurt cheese was made I added chopped green olives! Also the second time I tried this I added chopped cucumbers salt garlic and dry dill.
This is my new favorit recipe! I love this. I've been making this for years. I use a mesh strainer with a coffee filter. I also use non-fat yogurt. I don't add anything to the yogurt before straining. This is especially good for dieters who need a non-fat alternative for dressings, dips, sauces, spreads, etc. This recipe got me on a yogurt cheese kick. I have been making my own yogurt from milk and store bought plain yogurt Every bit of the yogurt cheese I have made has been delicious.
I use coffee filters. I've gotten my friends very interested in making yogurt and yogurt cheese which we use for sour cream or continue on to the cream cheese stage. It's great in all recipes calling for those two items. Rating: 4 stars. You can also use clean coffee filters instead of cheesecloth if there is none available to you.
Just make sure you overlap the edges so the yogurt doesn't get through. Also try using cheese without gum or gelatin because it can keep the curds and whey from separating. Not that I followed this recipe to the tee however I've been making yogurt cheese for some time.
I don't bother buying cheese cloth to do this. In any event I also use the full fat yogurt vs low or non-fat variety. I use this "cheese" for many reasons from potato salad and so on. You can dress this up or down depending on what you are striving for in a recipe. I love it! I don't add the garlic unless I think it will go with whatever recipe I'm using it for or in.
