Note

*Yogurt Cheese: To make nonfat yogurt cheese, line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and place it over a bowl. Pour 2 cups of plain nonfat yogurt into the strainer. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight, allowing the whey to drain. The remaining thick substance is yogurt cheese.

Storage: This dessert is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the fruit mixture and yogurt cheese separate in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.

Variations: If you don't have flavored vinegar, you can use a mild white wine vinegar or omit it for a simpler flavor profile.
