Ingredients
900 g vanilla yoghurt
2 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER
¼ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT (optional)
1 tsp curry powder (optional)
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Make the Cheese: Line a strainer with a double thickness of cheesecloth and set it over a large bowl. Place the yogurt, SIDS SALT & PEPPER, SIDS CRAZY SALT, curry powder and cayenne, if using, in a large bowl and stir to combine. Transfer the yogurt to the strainer, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let the liquid strain off into a bowl placed beneath it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Cover a large plate with several thicknesses (about 6-8) of toweling and transfer the strained yogurt to the prepared plate. Cover lightly with plastic and let sit, refrigerated, for 4-6 hours.
Make the Cheese Balls: Scrape the yogurt from the towel into a medium-size bowl. Serve in a bowl with assorted crackers & breads or shape tablespoonfuls of the cheese into balls. If desired, garnish the cheese balls with chopped nuts, seeds (such as poppy or caraway), or a light sprinkling of spice like paprika or cinnamon. Store refrigerated and tightly covered for up to 3 days.
