    I strain yogurt with cheese cloth. I tie the ends to a large colander. I put in the frig and leave over night and make sure the colander is in a bowl so the water goes in the bowl. There is a lot of water in the bowl but I also take a large stirring spoon and push down to get even more water out. - 10/29/14

    I made this today, it was great!! I used a pre-made reduced fat graham cracker crust. - 5/12/09

    I have tried making it without the crust but sprinkling cracker crumbs on top. This saves calories too. - 1/21/16

    I enjoy cheesecake, but don't make it because the recipe I have from Dad makes a large cheesecake and it is just too much for hubby and I (and it isn't the healthiest thing either - lol) I just might have to try this! Thanks for Sharing :) - 4/21/17
