Yoghurt Cheese
Place 4 layers of damp cheese cloth in a mesh sieve or colander. Place clander over a bowl. Add yoghurt and let it drain over night in the fridge. 2 cups of yoghurt yields 1 cup of yoghurt cheese.


You can also use yoghurt cheese to make dips, whipped cream, cake frosting and chocolate mousse. I will post those recipes next time.
