How to Make Yogurt Cheese Maple

Line a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander with several layers of cheesecloth. Place over a bowl and pour in 2 cups of Greek yogurt.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the whey to drain. The longer it drains, the thicker your cheese will be!
Once drained, gently transfer the thick yogurt cheese to a bowl.
Stir in 2-4 tablespoons of real maple syrup, to taste. Start with less and add more to your preference.
Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy as a standalone snack, with fresh fruit, on pancakes, waffles, or as a delightful topping for your favorite desserts!
