Have you ever heard of yoghurt cheese?
Yoghurt cheese is made by removing most of the moisture from yoghurt through a layered drainage system.
This can be done with just about any plain or flavored yoghurt, but plain Greek natural yoghurt is thick and full of nutrients including protein.

Firstly a colander is placed on top of a small bowl, at least two layers of muslin or cheese cloth is put inside the colander, the yoghurt on top and lastly any type of covering is placed over the whole thing (saucepan lid or tea towel etc.)
This is all put into the fridge for up to three days until the desired consistency is achieved. The end result can be used as an alternative to cream cheese or flavored with fruit or nuts and served with crackers. In this case we have used it to make a thick and creamy cupcake frosting.
Traditional cupcake frosting is loaded with butter, sugar and sometimes even whipped cream! This can cause weight gain and isn’t the healthiest thing for you and your family. This alternative is creamy, thick, sweet, fresh and decadent.
Enjoy!
