Notes
Labneh is a Middle Eastern yogurt cheese with texture similar to cream cheese, but with a tangier flavor. Traditionally, labneh is made from goat's milk or full-fat Greek yogurt. However, I make it with low-fat Greek yogurt. It should keep for over a week, so you might want to make extra to use in dips, or as a substitute for cream cheese.See labneh recipe on Love & Lemons.
