Yogurt cheese cakes

I had some yogurt cheese from my last batch of powdered milk yogurt and wanted to try to make a cheesecake out of it. This turned out really good. The flavor is less tangy than a regular cheesecake but super creamy and yummy.
To make the yogurt cheese all you need to do it put it in a cheesecloth bag and hang it over a bowl over night letting all the whey drip out. I let mine hang from one of the cabinet knobs. You can also put cheesecloth over a large bowl, securing it with a rubber band, and let it drain over night. There are different ways to do this posted at Everyday Food Storage. 

Yogurt Cheese Cake

8oz yogurt cheese
1/2 C sugar

Mix together the ingredients until smooth.

6 graham crackers
1 T melted butter
Mix together and then press into the bottom of 6 muffin cups.
Pour the cheese mixture over the crust and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until the middle doesn't jiggle. Refrigerate until set.


Here is the caramel sauce recipe we drizzled over it.
