Easy Instant Pot Yogurt
Description
This recipe uses an Instant Pot to ferment milk inoculated with live culture yogurt and optionally sweetened or flavored. The ingredients are whisked together in the pot, then incubated for about eight hours using the machine's yogurt function. After incubation, the yogurt is chilled in the refrigerator until set and ready to eat. The process yields a smooth, slightly tangy yogurt that can be used plain or with toppings.
The flavor and texture depend on the specific yogurt starter used and any added ingredients like condensed milk or vanilla. The low-fat milk results in a lighter yogurt, and the extended incubation promotes fermentation for tanginess. Chilling after incubation firms up the yogurt.
The yogurt can be eaten as a snack, breakfast, or used in recipes that call for plain yogurt. Adjusting the starter amounts or incubation time changes tartness and thickness.
If the chilled yogurt has lumps, vigorous whisking can restore smoothness. The recipe notes removing the Instant Pot sealing ring as optional to prevent pressure buildup during incubation.

- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or Scandinavian Yogurt, fat-free

Notes
