How to Make Yogurt Cheese With Hot Nut Topping

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Spoon the drained yogurt cheese into individual serving bowls or glasses. Top generously with the warm spiced nut mixture.
  6. Garnish with fresh fruit such as berries, mango slices, or figs (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
