Arabic term or phrase: القريشة
القريشة تستخر من الحليب بعد غليه وإضافة حمض إليه، وتؤكل مع السكر

English translation:(similar to) Ricotta or cottage cheese
Explanation:
I suppose that is what we call جبنة قريش in Egypt.
You may have to transliterate it, as Saleh suggested, but the closest equivalent would be "cottage cheese" or the Italian "Ricotta".

Based on my cooking experience, when you add acid to milk, cheese would be formed, and hence, in Arabic it would be:

جبن

You may call it cream cheese, as per the following link:

http://www.leeners.com/cheesehow2.html

Quote : \"Simply put, cheese making is the process of removing water from dairy milk. The first characteristic of a cheese is based on how much water is removed. Soft cheeses like cream cheese contain more water than a hard cheese like cheddar. Very dry cheeses like parmesan contains all most no water.\"

Saleh

cottage cheese / butter milk / Yogurt


Explanation:
Actually i can't understand what you exactly mean.
In Egypt: there are two possibilities of what you are talking about
1- cottage cheese = prepared of milk + some kind of acid (in this case there is no sugar added)
2- Yogurt / or اللبن الرايب prepared of milk + some kind of acid (yeast) (some people add sugar to this dish others don't)

If you provide more explanation it would help

agree  atef Sharia: In Brazil they call it requeijão, and seems to me equivalent to what called "Catupiry cheese"
