Yogurt is one of my family’s favorite breakfast items. It makes a quick breakfast by itself or even with a little fruit or granola mixed into it. However, store bought yogurt can contain lots of added sugars and preservatives. Why buy store bought yogurt with all those additives when you can make it at home with just three ingredients. It is super easy and requires little work to make, it just requires time in your Instant Pot.
Ingredients:
1.5 liters of ultra pasteurized milk (I prefer to use the fairlife brand)
1 fourteen ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
2 tbs of yogurt starter*
*note – You can use yogurt cultures or just use some store bought plain Greek yogurt. I like to use 2 Tbs of Fage Greek yogurt for my starter. Once you have made your own batch of yogurt you can use your own yogurt as a starter for future batches by just setting some aside to use later. I freeze 2 Tbs from each of my batches and then defrost it when I am ready to make yogurt.
Directions:
1. Pour your ultra pasteurized milk into your instant pot.
2. Add the sweetened condensed milk. You can use all the can for a sweeter yogurt, or you less depending on your personal taste. You may even omit the sweetened condensed milk and without this, you will have a Greek yogurt.
3. Add you starter
4. Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk.
5. Put your lid on your instant pot and set to yogurt mode for 8 hours.
6. After 8 hours you can remove your yogurt and refrigerate it until you are ready to eat it. I refrigerate mine overnight before eating it the first time.
7. Enjoy!
