Yogurt Cheese Maker Review and FREE Giveaway

Got YoCheese? Hey, that’s not YO cheese, that’s MY cheese!

Yes, it’s an old “cheesy” joke, but it’s hysterical when said around here, no matter how many times we’re heard it.

With the rich, luscious yogurt cream cheese (also known as yocheese) that is made simply, easily and with no mess from the Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker, you’ll be saying “Hey, that’s MY yocheese!”

The Donvier Yogurt Cheese maker is a non-electric tool which separates whey from yogurt (homemade or storebought) into rich, thick, tasty creamy cheese, the consistency of cream cheese or the popular “Greek yogurt”.

(For the GIVEAWAY of the Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker – keep reading!)Don’t let the simplicity of the design fool you, this yogurt cheese maker is one of the best, easiest and cleanest I have tested (and I’ve tested several). Here is my review of the Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker.

To make yocheese, place 3 cups of good-quality, active-culture [preferably organic] yogurt with no added thickeners or flavors into the stainless mesh “wave” screen. Homemade yogurt is a great choice. Place the mesh screen inside the container and press the lid on tightly. Put the container in the fridge and wait from 2-24 hours.

Remove the lid, the screen (which now holds thickened yocheese!) and in the bottom of the container you will have lovely, active whey which can be used for so many things (more on that later).

I prefer to empty the container of whey several times over 24 hours, to make the thickest yocheese.

Remove your whey – use it or store it – and wash the container. Remove the thickened yocheese from the strainer and place it in the clean container. Add flavorings if desired (I like chives and garlic). Cover the container and place the yocheese back in the fridge until use. Refrigerate up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!).

*Be sure not to store the yocheese in the steel mesh strainer for more than 24 hours without washing the mesh.

Yields about 1 cup of thick, delicious, creamy, health-supporting yocheese!
