Description

Smooth, creamy, and easy to make, this yogurt is the perfect healthy breakfast or snack topped with your favorite fruits and nuts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 gallon whole milk (or 2% for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt starter (with live cultures)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Milk: Pour 1 gallon of milk into the inner pot of your Instant Pot.
  2. Heat the Milk: Press the “Yogurt” button and select “Boil.” Heat until the milk reaches at least 180°F (82°C).
  3. Cool Down: Remove the inner pot and let it cool to about 110°F (43°C).
  4. Add the Yogurt Starter: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of plain yogurt with 1 cup of cooled milk until smooth. Whisk this mixture back into the remaining milk in the Instant Pot.
  5. Incubate: Close the lid securely and press “Yogurt” again. Set for at least 8 hours (up to 12 hours for tangier yogurt).
  6. Chill Out: After incubation, transfer your yogurt into containers and refrigerate for at least two hours before enjoying.
