A yogurt and a yogurt cheesecake

This time I have 2 recipes to share: yogurt and yogurt cheesecake.
Yogurt? How boring! But for me it´s not, I don´t get tired of doing it, it´s really easy, ready in 5 minutes, is very rich, cheap and also low calorie. But, always a but, you have to be patient, you need 1 day to see results.




Low-fat vanilla yogurt
Ingredients
Milk low fat 2 lt
1 vanilla yogurt  (200 g)
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Sweetener 9 small bags

Others

Large saucepan with lid
Towels or blankets
Thermometer (optional)


Procedure
Check the pan that has to be very clean, and preferably, a pan in good conditions, without scratches.
- Put the milk in saucepan and heat it
- Stir with a spatula, while heated, and check with the baking thermometer until 41°C, this should take 5' approximately. If no thermometer have to try a little milk on the edge of the lower lip and it should feel as the body temperature. 
- When it reaches the temperature, turn off the heat and add the yogurt and stir it well.
- Cover the pan and place in a quiet place and cover it with either blankets or towels. You must maintain a warm place for 24 hours.
- The next day  you can add the vanilla essence and sweetener and mix it well.
- Put in airtight container and store in refrigerator.
- And that's it! 2 liters of yogurt super easy to make.

When you are running out of yogurt, repeat the process with the remaining yogurt. This process can be repeated several times. I´ve done this so far the three times.



* The thermometer is very useful not to go in the temperature of the milk, you could use a medical, obviously very clean, as we don´t need to measure up to 41 ° C. Preferably, you should use a kitchen one.

Here is another recipe, a very smooth cheesecake, with the bitterness of the cookies, and a little lemon flavor as opposed to the softness of the homemade yogurt. If you prefer, you can skip the lemon, and instead, put some fruit, red fruit jam, or some of them broken cookies.
