I had made any of this in a long time, so i made some last night. I just love the stuff!
For anyone that has never made it: put some yogurt (as much as you like, i usually do about 3 cups), in a coffee filter or cheese cloth in a strainer over a bowl, and allow the yogurt's whey to drain off overnight. I also put a small plate on top with something heavy on it (last night i used a beer bottle LOL) to press the liquid out. What is left is a soft cheese-type yogurt. Mine is just a bit softer than cream cheese.
You can mix in all sorts of flavours and berries etc. It' also makes an amazing dip base for homemade dips for veggies.
I do have a question. Does anyone know how much the nutrional info changes? ie if my ff yogurt had 140 cals 10 carbs per cup. would this be now in a half cup since it's more concentrated..or does it stay the same? I know some say taking the whey off lowers the carbs but i prefer to count them, just wondering if the volume change affects it.
Any other ideas for flavouring? I like davinci syrups, sweetener/cinamon, frozen blueberries, cocoa sweetener, nat peanut butter.
