I got this from the cook book "Clean Eating." I tried it the other day and it has the same consistency and very close in taste to cream cheese. It has much less fat and higher protein than cream cheese.
You'll need:
1 Tub of low-fat plain yogurt
Cheese cloth (you can find this on the same aisle as parchment paper)
colander to drain
mixing bowl
Place the colander over the mixing bowl. Wet the cheese cloth and drape over the colander. Dump the yogurt onto the cheese cloth so that the yogurt can drain through the cloth. Leave overnight in the fridge.
The next morning put only the cheese left in the cheese cloth in a tupperware bowl to store. Discard the liquid left in mixing bowl.
You can eat it straight (like cream cheese) and you can also mix spinach and other flavors into it for a great dip. :thumbsup:
