Recently I published an article about my wonderful experience using a Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Maker (and if you have not entered that giveaway yet, then let this serve as a reminder!). In addition to making tons of delicious flavors of yogurt, I have also started making yogurt cheese with the Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker (and very soon one of you – my readers – will get your very own yogurt cheese maker in our giveaway!). Who knew that yogurt was so deliciously versatile? You can use yogurt cheese in place of mayonnaise, cream cheese or sour cream. So you get all of the healthy probiotic benefits of yogurt in a low-fat healthy cheese spread.
Using the Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker could not be any easier. You simply place the mesh insert (shown on the right in the photo above) into the white plastic container (shown on the left in the photo above). Add 3 cups of yogurt to the mesh strainer, snap the lid on top of the plastic container and put it in the fridge. In 2 hours, you will have a thick yogurt cream and in 24 hours you will have a thick yogurt cheese that can be used in place of cream cheese or other fattening ingredients like mayonnaise and sour cream. The only additional step that I would suggest is that during the 24 hour period, it is best to empty out the liquid that gets strained from the yogurt a few times. Also, if you are in a pinch, you do not have to wait the full 24 hours. You will notice that the yogurt becomes thick even after just 8-9 hours (which is basically waiting overnight).
Just to get your mouth-watering and to fill your mind with ideas, here are some of the things that I have made so far with my Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker. I made many different Yogurt Cheese Spreads by mixing different herbs, vegetables and even fruits into my yogurt cheese. For example, instead of french toast stuffed with strawberry cream cheese, I made a french toast stuffed with strawberry yogurt cheese by mixing some pureed strawberries into my yogurt cheese. More of a savory person? Then, finely dice some vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, chives, etc.) in your food processor or by hand, mix it with some yogurt cheese, and you have the perfect healthy substitute for vegetable cream cheese. If you are not a spread person, then you can also use yogurt cheese in chicken salad or tuna salad because it is much healthier than using mayonnaise. I have a major sweet tooth, so I am thrilled whenever I can figure out a way to make one of my family’s favorite desserts healthier. I made a cheesecake with half low-fat cream cheese and half yogurt cheese, and it came out perfect. I even substituted half of the cream cheese with yogurt cheese in my Banana Cupcakes with Yogurt Cheese Frosting Recipe (the delicious results are shown in the photo above)! If you are looking for ways to sneak some extra healthy probiotics into your family’s diet, while cutting back on fat and calories, you definitely need to check-out the Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker

Pop molds. I think I’d get the most use out of these. We have fresh juice all the time and would be even better frozen.

I have visited the Cuisipro website and my favorite product is the decorating pen, but I also admired the cookware:) I have registered for your Opinion newsletter and am already enjoying it. Thanks,……..
The Donvier Ice cream maker looks like something my family will love!
I desperately need a good pair of tongs… and the silicone locking tongs in blue would be perfect!

I like the decorating pen. I have never seen one like that before. Looks like it would make the it easier than the ‘gun’ I have now. 🙂
My husband would love the rocket pop molds. He loves those rocket pops. I don’t like popsicles, but it is so much fun watching him enjoying a popsickle, I would make them for him.
Now yogurt cheese is something i can totally get into. Greek style yogurt is food of the Gods as far as I’m concerned.
Thanks for the chance.
i would love a donvier ice cream maker for myself!

Wow, I didn’t know they made a cheese maker. That would be really cool. I could use a good rolling pin like the cooling one they have on their site.

I really think their popscicle molds would come in handy. What a great way to try and get fluids into kiddos with a cold or flu & high temps.
I think the scilicone spatulas would be a handy addition to the kitchen.

I have always wanted to make yogurt from scratch. I have heard that it is to die for. This looks like a machine that is very user friendly. Can’t wait to get one.
The compact herb keepers. They would be awesome. Being able to cook with fresh herbs is to die for.
I AM IN HEAVEN! I HAVE FOUND ALL THE LITTLE THINGS THAT I DON’T HAVE OR NEVER KNEW EXISTED. I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT HELPS MAKE COOKING EASIER. I HAVE 1,000 COOKBOOKS, MY OWN COLLECTION AND ALSO LEFT TO ME FROM MY MOTHER. I LOVE GADGETS AND THIS IS MY NEW GADGET SITE.
Visited the Cuisipro site… it would take a while to decide what item is my favorite! Many cool things to exploer. For practicality, I like the 3-in-1 funnel, but this yogurt cheese maker intrigues me.
