Lemon Yogurt Cheese Over Summer Fruit

From a grocery store flier for national dairy month. Cook time is the refrigeration time. When i made mine, i made the mistake of using a blended yogurt and very little separated out. It still tasted good, but next time i'll make sure i pick a brand that separates better.

Steps

Set a strainer lined with cheese-cloth or a coffee filter over a large bowl.
Place the yogurt in the strainer , cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6-24 hours.
Yogurt will thicken and liquid will drain into the bowl , leaving about 1 cup of yogurt cheese in strainer.
Discard liquid.
Whisk yogurt cheese , sugar , lemon zest and juice together in a small bowl.
Let stand 10-15 minutes or until sugar dissolves.
Divide fruit among 4 dessert bowls or plates.
Top each with 1 / 4 cup of yogurt cheese.
Garnish with lemon zest or sliced almonds if desired.

Ingredients

reduced-fat vanilla yogurt, sugar, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, fresh fruit
