Answers:

Fromage frais or fromage blanc is a cheese made with milk and a culture. Some people know it as a runny cheese that has a texture similar to that of yogurt. In France it is sold next to yogurt in grocery stores. Sometimes it is flavored with fruit.

If you can't find this cheese in your local stores, yogurt may be substituted.
