Fromage blanc

Fromage blanc is a French style of fresh cow's milk cream cheese most frequently served as a dessert cheese. Fromage blanc is quite soft, a bit thicker than yogurt. Originally it was made as a fat-free product, but sometimes cream is added to the product, so fat content can vary. It is the texture of thick sour cream. 

You can substitute Greek yogurt or see other substitutions below.
