my MIL knows I love to bake, so she likes to get me baking stuff as gifts. She also knows I'm trying to eat healthier, and so I'm avoiding baking as much as I used to, so she got me a yogurt cheese maker (basically a really fine strainer in it's own container). I think my mom used to make yogurt cheese, but I don't remember what she did with it. I've found some recipes, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried baking or cooking with yogurt cheese before, and if anyone has any tasty recipes? Thanks!

yogurt cheese is easy to make, i've never used a "yogurt cheese maker" i use a few pieces of cheese cloth layered, in a collander (did i spell that right?) in a bowl, and it comes out to be close to the consistency of cream cheese, and a little different taste. I was on the WW core plan a while back and made a core cheesecake out of yogurt cheese (made with plain non-fat yogurt) lol basically you can do anything with yogurt cheese you would with cream cheese, can whip it up, add some herbs and garlic and spread it on crackers, and there are definitely tons of recipes that it can be used in, it's actually surprisingly versatile
