Amy’s Yogurt “Cheesecake”
Strain 4 cups homemade yogurt through a dishcloth for a while. It will lose quite a bit of liquid. While you wait, make a crust of 1 and ¼ cups crushed rice cereal (mostly chex with some krispies mixed in worked well), ¼ cup butter and ¼ cup sugar. Press into heart shaped pan and bake at 350 until browned around edges.
Let oven cool to 275 while crust cools and you mix together the following –
strained yogurt (discard liquid)
4 eggs (try 6 yolks sometime?)
½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
Bake at 275 until it isn’t jiggly in the middle anymore. Cool to room temp, chill and serve with fruit topping.
Tried for Gwen’s cake – strained yogurt for an hour or more. Added ¼ cup cream, used 8 yolks
