Making Homemade Yogurt in the Instant Pot UltraHey There!!!
Kara here and today we are going to talk about making homemade yogurt. It is SUPER simple, it just takes quite a bit of time for the yogurt to thicken.

I used my Instant Pot Ultra- and I'll walk you right through the steps you need to do to make the yogurt!!!
Homemade yogurt
Ingredients
- 8 C. Milk
- 2 T. Room Temp Plain Yogurt
Pour Milk into the InstantPot Pot. Cover and push knob to vent. (sealed is fine too, but we arent actually using pressure so it won't seal).
Get to the Yogurt Setting and change the setting to HIGH, Push Start. This will bring the milk to a boil. It will beep when done.
Careful NOT to scrape the bottom of the pot at all. Remove the pot so it can cool down to 110 Degrees and remove the film on the top.
In a small bowl add the 2T of plain yogurt and take 1/2 of the COOLED milk and Mix.
Add the mixture back into the instant pot and stir it in, making sure not to scrape the bottom.
Place the Instant Pot back into the pot and cover. Push the knob to vent.
Change YOGURT setting to the medium setting (107 degrees) and cook for 8-10 hours.
I check around 4 hours to see if it's set yet. The pot will count the hours UP so you can see on the pot how long its been brewing. (the longer it cooks, it will become more tart)
Once it's done you can use a cheesecloth to strain into the bowl for 3+ hours to get a thicker yogurt, or just stir in the whey and eat as is.
Put into sealed containers in the fridge and consume within 1-2 weeks. Discard whey (if you strained it off) or save in the fridge for other recipes.
Now you have your own healthier yogurt, and it's much cheaper too!!! You can freeze portions for up to a month or so to use in the next batch, but it probably won't work for more than one generation.
I also keep it plain in the fridge, without adding honey or maple syrup until I eat it. Then you can use it in smoothies and other recipes, if it's really thick, eat it like sour cream. :-)
I hope you enjoyed this recipe!!!
