No whey!

I pressed all the whey out of some Dannon plain yogurt. Here's how:

• Put a colander over top of a bowl of some sort. Make sure that all of the holes in the colander are over the bowl.
• Line the colander with white paper towels, cheesecloth, or coffee filters.
• Pour yogurt into lined colander.
• Cover yogurt. I just used more paper towels.
• Put a bowl filled with heavy things-bags of rice or beans work well-on top of the covered yogurt.
• Leave in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Result? Yogurt cheese! At least, that's what Alton Brown calls it.

Why, you ask? Well, you can use it in place of cream cheese OR...

Add a cup of blueberries and a couple spoonfuls of sugar. Whiz it with a stick blender and get this yummy Blueberry Decadence. It's so creamy and delicious! You can also throw it in the freezer to make fro-yo. YUM!
