I have recently found a new yogurt named Noosa. It is full fat and WONDERFUL in texture and flavor. I am thinking that I can use the lemon one as a base for this maybe. OR they have a honey version that would just need to be drained and nuts added. Thank you so much for the great recipe!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691926617885591004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-37017217187261613342018-03-27T12:24:12.864-04:002018-03-27T12:24:12.864-04:00Cream cheese here is much more expensive than the ...Cream cheese here is much more expensive than the homemade variety, That's because its a very western cheese so your recipe was a cheaper and a lot more deliciousAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746285636999449434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-91779111666874444722017-12-13T21:26:19.453-05:002017-12-13T21:26:19.453-05:00One more thing: cheese cloths definitely contribut...One more thing: cheese cloths definitely contribute a lovely artisenal touch, but when I make overnight labneh, I just use a coffee filter!

The yogurt was hung in a cloth over the sink (tied to the neck of the faucet) and the next day we'd spread it in a dish, drizzle with olive oil, dip with warm pita bread and a dusting of zaatar. Cow's yogurt drips much faster than goat yogurt but the latter has a more flavourful tang. If I do use cow's yogurt, the Greek or Bulgarian varieties are best.<br /><br />Love your version with honey and pistachios! I think it's also great sprinkled with pomegranate seeds.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687557875835287434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-30869353354912781232017-09-28T06:19:59.578-04:002017-09-28T06:19:59.578-04:00Just made a smetannik cake (Russian sour cream lay...Just made a smetannik cake (Russian sour cream layered honey cake) and since I had a two kilogram tub of gippsland ( nice quality Australian ) yogurt, I put it in cheese cloth overnight, draining it down to about half volume, and when I was ready to assemble the cake, mixed some vanilla, and lemon zest into the labneh. Was a little stiff, so added tome sour cream (about a cup) whiich made it pliable, got the turn table from under my computer monitor, and on a piece of cardboard wrapped with aluminum foil started assembling the cake - smear of labneh, layer cake, labneh ... all the way to the top.<br />the turn table and a 14 inch carving knife made up for not having a cake spatula.<br />Put into the fridge for 24 hours allowed the filling to merge with the cake layers and when it was cut - it looked beautiful.

Thanks for a great video and recipe-<br />I used the home made cream cheese in a cheesecake cup desert with gingersnap and butter crunch crust- it was amazing and a smash at my famille's thankulfullness thanksgiving party.

Great results with the cheesecloth etc. and the women here are going mental over it. <br /><br />I'm going to try it in paneer matar masala (green pea curry with cubes of white cheese - incidentally Vahchef relates that this particular masala was called "the romance of the housewife with green peas" by a famous Indian food writer)<br /><br />BTW I've been meaning to mention this: Please suggest that people wear rubber gloves if they work with seriously hot chilis.

I was withholding salt before, but in my latest (third) attempt I added a bit more salt, along the lines of what you listed in the recipe, but I added the salt to the yogurt in the beginning and stirred the yogurt really, really well.<br /><br />When I did that and set it to strain it seemed that 3 days worth of whey came out at once, I think the salt draws the whey out of the curds. I really think you might be able to reduce this recipe to ~48 hours.<br /><br />Either way, taking this recipe, adding chopped pistachios and honey on top is one of the most incredible experiences I have had. I did use "honey wheat" ritz crackers. The flavors that were involved were amazing, each bite took me on a journey of varying flavors, and it took a good 30-45 seconds to go through each round. It is one of those experiences you cannot describe, but wish everyone you know could....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328513667718620822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-32112742348616572242016-02-12T21:37:21.166-05:002016-02-12T21:37:21.166-05:00David Green If you cannot get cheesecloth I would ...David Green If you cannot get cheesecloth I would not go for nylons, in fact I don't even really recommend cheesecloth!

Anyway, I've made homemade queso fresco but this by far is better when it comes to cheeses you just want to curl up with while watching some late night flix. I was going to take a pic but, I wanted to taste it first and before I knew it I ate the whole thing. Sorry. Anyway, this is among my top list of comfort foods out there. I can't wait to try it on some bagels or more Ritz crackers. Oh man, forget that! I bet those cheddar crackers you made could use some of this. IMO you can never have too much of cheese.
