Instant Pot Yogurt - two final products

Homemade Yogurt in the Instant Pot is so easy, with some milk and a a couple tablespoons of greek yogurt you can make your own greek yogurt for the fraction of the store bought price. I'll also show you how to make some cream cheese that is full of healthy probiotics.
As promised, here are a couple of instant read thermometers on Amazon. They will give you an accurate temp in just a few seconds.

I make yogurt and strain it to make Greek Yogurt. It's so creamy and delicious. Last year I got the Instant Pot for Christmas and made the Greek Yogurt and my Dad loved it so much he brought me whole milk once a week so I could make a new batch for him every week. I did this every week for months on end until we all got sick of yogurt, lol. Once I let it strain too long and it did have the consistency of cream cheese. We loved that too :-).

Awesome video. Thanks for the clear directions!

[@3GCooking]

You're welcome. How did it turn out?

[@sad_jedi5203]

As always, a winner in my book.

Made it but was a pain since the manual didn’t explain how to use for yogurt. Had to go on line to find the one for my machine. Turned out great. Son loves yogurt and he loved this.

I just used the fairlife milk cooked it over night just add the starter

[@thevictoriakent]

You should mention when you close the steam closed or open?

[@daleplant5275]

I think that what you made is Greek yogurt cheese not cream cheese, although they do have similar taste they are made with different cultures.

[@ajb5114]

No, they don't have the same taste. He made runny and strained yoghurt, that's all. You cannot make from yoghurt a cream cheese cause you need to add lemon juice to separate whey and takes at least 20 hrs to make it.

What was the last sentence? Enjoy great food from a great guy?

[@lynnkramer1211]

That did not taste anything like cream cheese. Whole milk is more like 15 - 25 percent butterfat. Can this be done with heavy cream instead of milk?

[@skippynllivingston8468]

We boycott Fairlife milk after seeing the animals abuse videos. So glad to find video of yogurt made with regular milk I can get at my store.

[@justagramma]

looks delicious but I don't have a yogurt function on my Instant pot.

[@3GCooking]

Yep, unfortunately that's probably the biggest drawback of the Lux model.

[@gemibrown4125]

Disappointed there was no actual cream cheese made. The item you call cream cheese is actually Greek yogurt, which is indeed delicious, but not the same flavor as cream cheese. Off to find another video that hopefully covers making cream cheese.

[@WV591]

that not cream cheese that's just thick yogurt.

[@ajb5114]

Hasn't got the Greek yoghurt consistency. too runny. Also, the cream cheese needs lemon juice to separate the whey. That's strained yoghurt what people call it in Mediterranean countries. Waste of time!
