Greek Yogurt

You can also just strain plain, fat free yogurt (with no thickening additives) through a few layers of cheesecloth (or in my case, an outgrown organic unbleached cotton onesie! :laugh: ). You place the cloth in a fine mesh sieve and rest it over a bowl, covered, in the fridge for 6 to 24 hours depending on the thickness you want. I've even used it as a base for icing on cake or just spread it on crackers plain. It's amazingly diverse and can replace any creamy, thick dairy product and offer protein, calcium and much less sodium too! GREAT stuff.

I strain my plain yogurt also w/ 2 coffee filters. Works great! It is really creamy and yummy!! :bigsmile:
