Homemade Healthy Cream Cheese


Recipe from the April 2012 Newsletter

Serves 12


This is a great alternative to cream cheese, it's also known as Yogurt Cheese. It looks, tastes, and behaves just like cream cheese! The only thing it doesn't do is melt, so don't use it in a hot food recipe. This is great to put on your bagels, and you will feel healthier too!

Ingredients:

    • 1 quart plain yogurt
    • a large cheesecloth


    Directions:

    1. Line a colander with your cheesecloth.

    2. Place a large bowl or measuring cup (at least 4 cups) under the colander, if you would like to collect the whey that comes from the yogurt. (Whey can be used in smoothies to add a little more protein.)

    3. Pour yogurt into the cheesecloth.

    4. Wait about 1 hour, the whey will start to drip out of the cloth, leaving your yogurt cheese in the cloth.

    5. After about an hour, hang the towel so that gravity can help get all of the whey out of your yogurt cheese. I suggest hanging it from a cupboard handle.

    6. After about 4 hours, or whenever it stops dripping, transfer yogurt cheese to a clean container and seal tight. Store in fridge.

    7. Yogurt cheese lasts about 1-4 weeks.

    Yield: 1 Cup

"I might learn how to cook yet with all this software of yours. You can't believe how much it has helped. I've had friends come over (I'm just a single guy with a dog - but looking for the right woman) and rave about the meals I prepared for them. It's not all that hard if you just follow the directions. In the end I have to tell them my secret, it's not talent - it's your software.

Oh well, the food is still delicious. Now if I could just figure out how to use the dishwasher.
