You can use dairy or non dairy yoghurt to make this cheese. The non-diary does not firm up as much as the dairy version. When we made our last batch using a vegan yoghurt we added in some dairy sour cream, it made a huge difference.
Makes 8-10 servings
32 ounces/907g dairy or dairy-free plain full fat yoghurt
1/4 cup/2 ounces/57g full fat dairy sour cream (only if using non-dairy yoghurt)
3/4 teaspoon about 4g fine sea salt
Place the yoghurt (and sour cream if yoghurt is non-dairy) in a large bowl. Add salt and whisk to combine well.
Place the yoghurt mixture into a clean cheese cloth. Place the cheese cloth in a sieve and let drain into a bowl for 1-2 hours on the counter. Place in the fridge for 10-34 hours (the vegan takes at least 24 hours). Remove from cheese cloth and add herbs if you desire. You now have a cream cheese like spreadable cheese.
