YOGURT CHEESE WITH MINTED STRAWBERRIES



Yogurt Cheese with Minted Strawberries image

Frozen strawberries in off season can be used but the texture is not the same. Dried mint really does not work but a bit of pepermint extract as a substitute gives a unique flavour to this. Prep time is steep time and chill time. This can be done ahead.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yogurt. Use plain, whole-milk yogurt for the best flavor and texture. Greek yogurt can also be used, but it will result in a thicker, more tangy cheese.
  • Drain the yogurt well. This will help to remove excess whey and result in a thicker, creamier cheese.
  • Season the cheese to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add fresh herbs, such as mint or dill, for a pop of flavor.
  • Chill the cheese for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help to firm up the cheese and make it easier to spread.
  • Serve the cheese with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include honey, fruit, and granola.

Conclusion:

Sweet yogurt cheese with minted strawberries is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics.
