Instant Pot Yogurt Without The Yogurt Button Food

INSTANT POT YOGURT

Steps:

• Pour the milk in a 6-quart Instant Pot® and put on yogurt setting. Press the adjust setting to boil (see Cook's Note). Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. After the boil cycle is complete follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir the milk and check the temperature using an instant-read thermometer. The milk must reach a temperature of at least 180 degrees F. If the milk is not yet hot enough, repeat the boil cycle until the milk comes up to the correct temperature.
• Remove the pot insert and allow the milk to cool until it reaches a temperature of 110 to 115 degrees F. (To speed up this process, place pot in an ice water bath and stir, being careful not to get any water into the milk.) Place 1/2 cup of the milk in a small bowl and stir in the store-bought yogurt until combined. Stir the yogurt mixture back into the milk mixture in the pot.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Put on the yogurt setting and set the time for 9 to 12 hours (9 for a looser, milder yogurt and 12 for a thicker, tarter yogurt).
• Remove the lid (there will be no pressure, so no pressure release is required). Carefully remove the yogurt and transfer to resealable containers.
• Refrigerate until completely chilled and set, about 4 hours.

INSTANT POT YOGURT WITHOUT THE YOGURT BUTTON

Steps:

• Pour milk into Instant Pot then seal the pot with the lid and seal closed. (If you want to add a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk) you can do so before closing your lid) Push the "keep warm" button and leave milk for about 40-45 minutes.
• Release the lid and whisk your warm milk.
• Set the IP to "sauté" to heat the milk to 185 degrees.
• Once milk hot remove inner pot with hot pads and set aside to cool to 110 degrees.
• Add 3-4 Tbsp of plain yogurt in your cooled milk and whisk.
• Place the inner pot back into the IP and seal the lid with a closed seal. The IP is off at this point. Wrap the IP in a towel and let sit 8 hours.
• Once done remove the homemade yogurt and place in a storage container in your refrigerator.
• If you would like to sweeten with honey, agave or vanilla, you can mix it in now.
• Use homemade berry IP jam to place at the bottom of your jar and top with your yogurt and enjoy!
