Start with plain, fat-free, Greek yogurt, make as much cream cheese as you like. Line a small colander or fine mesh strainer with a coffee filter or several layers of cheese cloth or a large square cut from a cotton t-shirt. Put the Greek yogurt in the liner of colander or strainer. Cover with another coffee filter. Set the colander inside of a bigger bowl, being sure that the bottom will not touch the whey that will drain from the yogurt. Let drain in the refrigerator for 12-48 hours. The longer it drains, the thicker it will be. Since it is made with fat-free Greek yogurt, it is 0 Weight Watchers Smart Points. Have fun, this "cream cheese" is amazing in recipes!

My Whole Family Loved This!! Yahoo!! 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast, skinless 4 oz lean ham, cut into bite size pieces or shredded 15 oz frozen, chopped spinach, thawed ½ cup chicken broth, reduced sodium 6 oz Greek yogurt, “cream cheese” 1 tsp ground mustard 1 tbsp white wine, optional 1 ½ oz lemon juice ½ tsp salt 5 oz reduced fat Swiss cheese
Note: My family LOVED this recipe and I felt great because I knew it was healthy. But, the creamy sauce was not creamy after baking. Flavorful, but not creamy. Next time, I may try this in a skillet, to see if I can get it creamier. Worthy! Greek Yogurt “Cream Cheese”, 0 SP Start with plain, fat-free, Greek yogurt, make as much as you like.
