No boil / Cold Ingredients Yogurt (Dahi) - Instant Pot
Description
No boil / Cold Ingredients Yogurt (Dahi) made in an Instant Pot uses 52 ounces of ultra-filtered milk combined with two tablespoons of live culture yogurt as the starter. The mixture is whisked together, then incubated in the Instant Pot on the yogurt setting for eight hours at a normal setting, creating a fermented dairy product with creamy texture and tang. The cold fermentation allows the yogurt to develop subtle tartness, which can be extended by increasing the incubation time.
The process eliminates the need to boil the milk, simplifying preparation, though the recipe warns against using raw or regular milk as it does not set well and may contain unwanted bacteria. Once the yogurt cycle completes, it should be refrigerated to firm up before serving, and can be enjoyed plain or with added flavors such as vanilla or sweetened condensed milk when mixing initially.
This recipe is useful for home cooks wanting to make fresh yogurt with minimal steps and equipment mainly using an Instant Pot, and it produces a clean, mild yogurt base suitable for sweeter or savory toppings.
Ingredients
- 52 ounce milk or other Ultra-filtered Milk, Fairlife or Natrel brand
- 2 tablespoon yogurt fresh, with live cultures
Instructions
- Add milk and yogurt to Instant pot insert. Whisk together so the yogurt mixes evenly with the milk.
- Place the instant pot lid or a glass lid.
- Push the Yogurt button and use the +/- buttons and set time to 8 hours. Make sure the Yogurt setting says "Normal". If you prefer tart yogurt, you can increase the time.
- When yogurt cycle is completed and the instant pot beeps, cover with a lid and refrigerate or transfer to glass jars or container to refrigerate.
- Enjoy yogurt with your favorite flavor and toppings.
Notes
- Use only ultra-filtered milk like Fairlife or Natrel brands to ensure proper yogurt setting without boiling.
- Avoid using raw or regular milk as it requires heating and may contain bacteria that affect fermentation.
- You may add sweetened condensed milk or vanilla to the milk and yogurt mixture for a flavored yogurt.
- Refrigerate the yogurt after the incubation cycle to thicken before serving.
