Dilled Yogurt Cheese

This cheese is very close to the consistency of cream cheese, but has fewer calories. You can use a coeur a la creme mold to make an attractive heart-shaped cheese. Because these molds have fewer drainage holes than a strainer, refregerate the shaped cheese for at least 24 hours, draining off the liquid (whey) occasionly. Serve with crackers and vegetable slices.
