High-Protein Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese Recipe: Easy and Delicious
Delicious, creamy, one ingredient cream cheese~
Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat Greek Yogurt you can use less or more Greek yogurt
- sea salt optional, but very necessary
- honey or maple syrup optional, but necessary
Instructions
- Place the fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Line the strainer with a double layer to prevent the yogurt from slipping through.
- Scoop your Greek yogurt into the strainer. Smooth it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
