Dry Yogurt Bowls : dry yogurt

Making labneh is as simple as mixing two ingredients—Greek yogurt and salt—wrapping them in a cheesecloth and straining to create a thick, rich soft cheese, and this beloved staple of Mediterranean cuisine inspired the “dry yogurt” Gen Z is obsessed with on TikTok.

The viral TikTok food, which focuses more on color and texture than flavor, involves removing the liquid from regular yogurt to create a thick consistency that’s more like frosting or clay. After preparing their dry yogurt, TikTok’s foodie community pairs it with granola, fruits, prepared “dry yogurt bowls” or even uses cookie cutters to form shapely treats.

While not everyone is a fan of dry yogurt, particularly those who are sensitive to texture, it’s inspiring millions to get creative in the kitchen.
