Yogurt Cheese

This is a healthy alternative to sour cream, cream cheese or even ricotta cheese.  You can also use this to make dips.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups low-fat plain yogurt

1 teaspoon kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

Line a sieve with 2 layers of cheese cloth or 2 standard paper coffee filters(not the cone type, they don’t sit sieve properly).

Place lined sieve over a bowl.

Mix the salt and yogurt together.

Pour into the sieve and cover with a clean towel.

Place in the refrigerator overnight.

Place the yogurt cheese in a covered container and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
