Yogurt Cheese

So just some info on yogurt cheese. Some of the recipes I use call for yogurt cheese. I've never made yogurt cheese but it sounds very easy. Take about 4 layers of cheese cloth and lay it in a fine mesh strainer. Place plain non-fat yogurt in the strainer with a bowl underneath. Place in the fridge overnight. In the morning you will have a nice "cheese" similar to a cream cheese texture. Because I have never used the yogurt cheese, I just use a lesser amount of regular yogurt in my recipes. For example, if a recipe calls for 3/4 cup of yogurt cheese, I'll just use a 1/2 cup of plain yogurt.
