• Simply place a coffee filter in a large strainer. Pour Danone Plain yogurt into the filter.
• Allow 1 cup of yogurt for every 1/3 cup of yogurt cheese.
• Place in the refrigerator and allow to drain. Drain for 3 to 12 hours depending on the desired consistency.
  The longer it drains, the firmer the yogurt cheese will be.
• Draining overnight will give you a soft cream cheese-like consistency.
  
• Yogurt cheese should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep for about a week.

Use yogurt cheese instead of cream cheese! For dips and spreads combine ingredients with a spoon or fork.
