Greek Yoghurt


In Greece, yoghurt cheese is topped with honey and nuts and eaten as a dessert.

  • 1 32-oz. container Plain Original Style Mountain High Yoghurt
  • Flat-bottomed coffee filters or cheese cloth
  • Strainer or colander
  • Deep pan or bowl
  • Honey
  • Pistachios, almonds, or walnuts

Set a strainer or colander over a deep pan or bowl, supporting it so base of strainer is at least 2 inches above pan bottom. Line strainer with 2 to 3 overlapping flat-bottomed coffee filters. Pour the yoghurt into the filter-lined strainer. Tightly cover entire strainer and pan set-up with plastic wrap. Chill 24 to 48 hours, pouring off liquid as it accumulates*. Unwrap Greek Yoghurt and turn out into a bowl, and peel off the coffee filters or cheese cloth. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days.

Top with honey and nuts for a traditional Greek dessert.

Makes about 1 pound (16 oz.) Greek Yoghurt.

 

* Liquid whey can be used as a liquid substitute to add protein to recipes that call for milk. See our Cranberry Nut Muffins recipe.

  1. I use the whey in a refreshing drink.

    V8 juice and yogurt whey
  2. Making this recipe using Mountain High plain non-fat is also very good. For a tasty topping I chop walnuts and blend with the honey before adding oven the yoghurt. I also like to thaw frozen fruit, such as mango chunks or blueberries, mix them with Mountain High Yoghurt, then top the Greek Yoghurt - very tasty!
  3. Sounds good.
  4. Love greek yogurt yay!:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D
  5. Instead of using paper coffee filters or cheese cloth I use inexpensive reusable coffee filters. They're $4 at my grocery store. The disadvantage is that they only hold about 1/3 of a 32 ounce tub so you need 3 of them to do the whole tub. I've been experimenting with adding flavorings before I drain the yogurt: lumpynose.wordpress.com
  6. Adding spices to the yogurt before you drain it works well. So far cardamom is my favorite. It doesn't take much; 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon for the 32 ounce tub. I'm recording my results on my blog: lumpynose.wordpress.com
