Yogurt "Cheesecake" w/Strawberries & Pineapple Syrup

realise this one takes some advanced prep, but i am a sucker for short ingredient lists. plus anything with the word cheesecake -quotations or not- must be delicious :)

FROM OPRAH (oprah.com)
(makes 4 servings)

1 container (32oz) plain or vanilla yogurt (low- or full-fat)
3cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 pint small strawberries , washed, dried & hulled
Directions:
"CHEESECAKE":
1. Line a medium sieve (about 7inches wide) w/2 layers of paper towels. Place sieve over a bowl.
2. Stir yogurt in container for consistency before pouring into sieve. Adjust paper towels to remove any folds. Cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate 24hrs, until yogurt thickens.
PINEAPPLE SYRUP:
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring pineapple juice to a boil. Cook over high heat until reduced to scant 1 cup, 25-30min.
4.Remove from heat & let cool. Cover & refrigerate until cold.
TO SERVE:
5. Remove yogurt from refrigerator & place a plate over sieve, making sure paper towels are not covering yogurt. Turn plate and sieve over to unmold yogurt. Gently remove paper towels.
6. With a knife, smooth yogurt on sides and top to make a flat "cheesecake."
7. Garnish w/strawberries & serve w/pineapple sauce on the side.
