Creamy Creamless Cinnamon Yogurt Fruit Dip

I made this last night after I wolfed down a whole lotta chocolate ice-cream, and started craving for something equally creamy, but a little less sinful! This dip is perfect as an accompaniment for a breakfast fruit bowl, though I like it best with a cold, firm apple! Note: Prep. time includes draining time in the refrigerator.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

•  good quality  paper towels
• 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt or 1⁄2 cup  curds (I use curds)
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon pure maple syrup

Directions

1. Line a colander with about 4-6 layers of paper towels, covering the bottom of the colander completely.
2. Rest the colander on another pot to collect the whey.
3. Gently pour the yogurt over the paper towels, cover with cling-wrap (or with anything else) and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight or for 8 hours.
4. The next morning, after a good night's sleep, walk to your refrigerator, remove the colander from it, uncover, and carefully scrape of the now-thickened yogurt onto a small (preferably pretty) bowl.
5. Add the cinnamon and maple syrup and mix well.
6. The consistency of the dip will be that of a soft-serve ice-cream!
7. Enjoy this dip with a fresh, cold, chopped apple, or banana, or any fruit you like!
