Tackle it Tuesday: Say Cheese
Our tackle for today is to make yogurt cheese. I use flavor yogurt for desserts and for fruit dip. Here is how to make it.
Step One: Gather everything you need to make yogurt cheese.
You will a bowl, stainer, cheesecloth 2 layers, and yogurt.
Step Two: Place strainer in a bowl. Then top strainer with cheesecloth. Top with the yogurt.
Step Three: Wrap extra cheesecloth on top of yogurt.
Step Four: Place a small saucer on top of cheesecloth.
Step Five: Add some weight. I use cans.
Step Six: Refrigerate for a few hours or until all the liquid has been remove.
Step Seven: Remove from refrigerator and remove cheese from cloth.

Extra tip: I was told that you can save the whey and use it like buttermilk, like in pancakes, breads, and dressings. I hadn’t try it yet but I will be using next time, we have pancakes.

You can use it like cream cheese. I use the flavor yogurt cheese on desserts and as a fruit dip. You can mixed herbs with the plain yogurt cheese and use it as vegetable dip or on a bagel. Just mixed the herbs after you make the cheese. Thanks for the wonderful comment.

Wonderful to see you writing about yogurt cheese. We like it so much we wrote a cookbook and guide to expand its uses. I hope you will allow us to share our enthusiasm: Yogurt cheese (or YoChee as we call it) is a wonderful versatile ingredient you can make at home to improve your own yogurt. Simply by draining it. It has substantial health, taste and cooking benefits (a creamy food which is low or no fat plus high protein and calcium). I hope you will take a look at,” Eat Well the YoChee Way” our guide and cookbook to this important food. We even paid ($1,000) to have yogurt cheese analyzed in a lab for nutritional content. The book really increases the use of yogurt cheese to main courses, soups, sauces, desserts, and much more. (Nutritional content included). Inexpensive durable drainers (starting at $9.) make it easy and clean. Our website YoChee.com contains a free yogurt cheese how - to slide show, nutrition information and free recipes. Thanks.

Great idea! But I would forget about it and it would be green before I got back around to it!
