How to Make Yogurt Cheese With Hot Nut Topping
- In a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl, pour 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to drain excess whey. This will create your creamy yogurt cheese.
- While the yogurt is draining, prepare the spiced nut topping. In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast 1/2 cup chopped almonds, 1/4 cup chopped cashews, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans until fragrant and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and a pinch of ground cloves. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and coats the nuts.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spoon the drained yogurt cheese into individual serving bowls or glasses. Top generously with the warm spiced nut mixture.
- Garnish with fresh fruit such as berries, mango slices, or figs (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
