Equipment
Ingredients
- 32 ounces whole milk yogurt (4 cups)
Instructions
- Line a large fine mesh strainer with a cheese cloth and place over a large bowl.
- Pour the yogurt into the cheese cloth.
- Twist the cheese cloth into a ball to form tension to allow the whey to drain. Tie a rubber band or something similar around the cheese cloth to hold that tension.
- Place in the fridge and allow to drain for 24-48 hours or until the yogurt is a thick spreadable consistency.
- Serve as desired and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have cheesecloth on hand, you can also use flour sack towels.
- When making this creamy cheese be sure to use plain full fat yogurt with no additives or sweetener to achieve best results.
- Consider dumping the liquid whey from the bowl once in a while while the yogurt drains so you can tell when it has finished straining. Save the leftover whey to use in the kitchen for recipes like fermented lemonade.
