Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon milk (1.8 L)
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt (30ml)

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into the Instant Pot (inner liner in place), and push the yogurt button until the screen says boil.  If your model doesn't show boil on the screen, you can set the timer to 1 hour after pushing the yogurt button. Pouring yogurt into instant pot liner.
  2. Once the Instant Pot yogurt cycle has completed, remove the lid and test the temperature to see that it is around 180°F.  
  3. Leave the inner pot in the Instant Pot for 5 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool. Cooling takes around 1 hour at room temperature or 15 minutes if you put the pot into an ice bath. 
  4. Once the milk has cooled to between 105°F to 115°F, you will skim any "skin" off the top and discard.  
  5. Whisk in the yogurt starter and place the pot back into the Instant Pot and set the lid to seal.  Next, press the yogurt button again and set the timer for 8 hours at normal pressure. 
  6. Once the cycle is complete, remove the pot from the Instant Pot, and cover the top with plastic wrap.  Then refrigerate it for at least 8 hours before portioning out into individual servings. Yogurt in glass jar with honey and blueberries on top.
  7. Serve as is, or add additional mix-in's and sweeteners to taste. 

Notes

To add sweetener while it cooks, mix in 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk with the 1/2 gallon milk.
