  18. For the yogurt cheese -
  19. Line a fine mesh strainer with 3 paper coffee filters and set it over a deep container. Spoon 16oz of yogurt (this will yield the 8oz needed for the recipe) into the lined strainer; cover and refrigerate. After 10 to 12 hours, about 1 cup of the liquid will have drained off the yogurt, and the yogurt will have a creamy, cream cheese-like consistency.
