🧂 Ingredients

1 Place the fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Line the strainer with a double layer
to prevent the yogurt from slipping through.
2 Scoop your Greek yogurt into the strainer. Smooth it out with a spatula to
create an even layer.
3 Cover the yogurt with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Place it in the
fridge and let it strain for at least 4-6 hours. For an even thicker
consistency, let it sit overnight. The longer it strains, the firmer your cream
cheese will be.
4 After straining, transfer the yogurt to a bowl. If it’s too thick for your
liking, you can stir in a bit of the whey you strained out to adjust the
texture.
5 Add a pinch of salt and honey for a neutral, slightly sweet flavor. I recommend
at least adding a pinch of salt and a tiny amount of honey since Greek yogurt
cream cheesecan be quite a bit more sour than classic cream cheese tastes.
