Method

Prepare the yogurt “cheese” a day before needed. Stir the yogurt and ricotta together and place in a cheesecloth (or large paper coffee filter) set inside a strainer. Place the strainer over a bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and chill for 24 hours. Discard the whey (the liquid in the bowl) and refrigerate the yogurt cheese until ready to use.
