Ingredients

  • Instant Pot Water Test
  • 2 Tbsp 5% Fat Fage Greek Yogurt
  • 2 l Semi Skimmed UHT Milk
Kitchen Gadgets
  • Instant Pot
  • Silicone Whisk
  • Instant Pot Silicone Lid

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Perform the instant pot water test first.
  2. Load your Greek yogurt into the instant pot.
  3. Then add 1/8 of the milk i.e. 1 cup/250ml.
  4. Whisk until well mixed and starting to froth. Pour in the rest of the milk and whisk until frothy like milk from a coffee shop.
  5. Place the lid on the instant pot and no need to set to sealing. Press the yogurt setting and make sure the time is set to 8 hours, if not press the + or – until you have 8 hours and then press start.
  6. After 8 hours and it has beeped, remove from the instant pot, and make sure you don’t stir. Then cover with its silicone lid and place in the fridge for a further 8 hours to chill.
  7. After it has chilled, stir and you have homemade Greek yogurt ready for using.

Notes

  • Quantities. I have listed this recipe as a quantity of 4 and that is because it fills 2 jars and is plenty for a family of four for the week.
  • Strain. Do you want very thick Greek yogurt? Then put the Greek yogurt over a sieve with kitchen towel and then after an hour a lot of the water will have come out of the yogurt and made it much thicker.
  • Silicone. It’s essential that you use a silicone whisk because otherwise it will damage the instant pot inner pot.
  • Milk. The milk you use matters. Use a skimmed (fat free) milk then you will end up with a fat free healthy yogurt. Use full whole milk with the highest fat content and you will have a creamy high fat yogurt. That same rule applies to the yogurt so do think about the yogurt you want.
