Labneh is a yoghurt cheese similar to greek yoghurt. This recipe goes great drizzled with honey, fruit preserves, fruity syrups, and other desserts, like lemony-cinnamon baked pears.

Zahira, it would be just as good and cheaper, at least where I live, to buy regular yoghurt. I usually just get a large tub of Dannon.

I love labneh, but is expensive to buy, so I will buy a big tub of greek yoghurt and make my own! I have had it with olive oil, flavoured with lemon and garlic, YUM!
