Is the instant pot the one that sort of looks like a cross between a crock pot and a pressure cooker?
If yes, I have one sitting in my garage and would LOVE to know how to make yogurt in it - can you point me to a recipe?
Thank you!
Yep, its a pressue pot/slow cooker. Check see if yours has a yogurt setting, it won't work if it doesn't.
Cold start yogurt.
1/2 gallon fairlife whole milk or other brand ultra pasteurized. Must be ultra pasteurized.
2 heaping tablespoons plain yogurt with live active cultures. Chobani and fage are commonly used.
Optional:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tbs vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream for extra decedent yogurt.
Add milk and yougurt to pot, wisk together. Add any optional ingredients. Wisk well.
Cover pot with lid, you can use a regular lid or the locking lid that comes with the pot. If using the locking lid, make sure the vent valve is open.
Hit the yogurt button and wait 8 hours for the cycle to complete. Once done, pull the inner pot out, cover and put un the fridge for 8 hours. Enjoy fresh yogurt.
I use all the optional ingredients, it was delicious. I might try honey next time instead of sweetened milk.
If your yogurt comes out too thin, you can strain it. I did have to strain mine. Fairlife supposedly makes thicker yogurt but I can't find it here, use organic life instead.
