Does anyone make their own yogurt?

6. I make a batch of yogurt in the instant pot, and

then use about half to make a spreadable cheese similar to cream cheese.

Dump the yogurt into a cheesecloth lined mesh strainer and place it in a bowl so that it's a few inches off the bottom allow the whey to drain off. Cover the top of the yogurt with a sheet of parchment paper and the cheesecloth. Place a saucer on top and stack large can of food on top to weigh it down and force out the whey. Store in the fridge overnight.

Transfer the yogurt cheese to a glass bowl and stir in any fresh herbs, minced garlic or green onions, nuts, olives, capers, jalapeno peppers, or fruits, whatever you like. Cover tightly and use in 4-5 days.

This is very good spread on toasted bagels or artisan breads, crackers, or added to a big sandwich with all your favorite fixin's.
