Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! Do you have any questions about Instant Pot yogurt? Leave em below! If not and you’re new, tell me where you’re watching from!! Have a great day! - Lisa
Two questions: First: how long do you think well-stored homemade yogurt stays fresh in the frig? Second, as I cook for one, can I cut the recipe in half without any time changes in incubation???
RV Deshaies i have made halves. Also she said or maybe it was another site I follow it is good in the fridge for a week. If it lasts that long. I usually make it fresh on Friday overnight or Saturday AM
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm a senior who has no vehicle, so cannot go to the health food store to get the goat milk yogurt. (On a specialized diet too!) So I saw your program, bought an INSTAPOT mini, and had the goat milk and Icelandic yogurt (for starter) delivered by SHIPT, like my regular groceries. Viola! ! ! I made it! SOOOOO easy! (with your help) Now I have yogurt every day and I'm SO happy and grateful to you! Blessings!
Drum roll... I tried my instant pot yogurt this morning. It is absolutely delicious! Creamy, fresh, tastes so good! I added some to my smoothie this morning. Yum! It was so easy to make. No more buying yogurt from the store from now on. I had my mom try it. She usually doesn’t like yogurt at all. Well, I’m happy to say that she likes it! I asked her if she was willing to eat it every morning and she said yes - if I serve it, she’ll eat it! We’ll hear my husband’s thoughts later. 😃 Thank you so much for the recipe! By the way, I’m from Maryland. Update: My husband loves the homemade yogurt! 😃
Just got my instant pot yesterday and already made this yogurt! Turned out amazing! I’m using my instant pot in Japan. It’s Saving on dairy costs is huge, especially here.
What I've found is before cleaning out the remnants of yogurt from the instant pot stainless steel pot. IF you dump some orange juice in there and whip it up with a fork or whisk , it turns into something resembling an orange julius. (or Kiefer type product). And uses some yogurt that would probably have been tossed down the drain.
Just received the smaller version of the Instant Pot and am so happy to have found your station on RUclips! Your instructions are wonderful and I will be one happy user as you make it look easy! I'm 88 years young and have used pressure cookers my last 60 some years! These modern versions are wonderful and your instructions will be my go to from now on for using and new recipes! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Since watching your video several weeks ago, I've been making this exact yogurt (except use ultrapasteurized, not fairlife milk bec of access) and also make plain yogurt every week. It's delicious and satisfying knowing it's homemade, plus I'm not dealing with extra product waste with store bought yogurt containers. I've also strained my plain yogurt to make Greek yogurt, Tzatziki, Labneh, panna cotta (Greek style - see Akis Petretzikis) and use the plain yogurt for tandoori marinade! Its so awesome ❤️
My first two attempts produced Fairlife yogurt milkshake! I had set the IP on Yogurt "LOW", instead of Yogurt "NORMAL". My eyes are old....Batch 3 was perfect! We now use the Costco milk, which yields a more tangy flavor, much preferred my my 67 yr old kid (husband). I process for 12 hours, cool down, then strain through cheesecloth to make Greek-type yogurt. Thanks for recommending this milk, and for great instructions.
Hi Lisa! I made yogurt in my instant pot using regular milk and sweetened condensed milk which I boiled above 180 degrees then let it cool down to the incubation temperature. I left it on the yogurt setting in my instant pot for over 9 hours. I tasted this yogurt today and it was so fresh and so wonderful. I have never had yogurt with this kind of quality until today! My starter from this batch is already in the freezer for my next delicious batch! God Bless.
That milk is the only kind we have gotten to work. Instead of regular sweetened condensed milk we use sweetened condensed coconut milk. OMG it is soo good!
I got the wrong milk , so I brought the whole milk just up to a boil and then let it cool down. Then followed what she did. It came out great !!! I want to use coconut like you did next !!
Update: I tried it again today. I found Ultra Pasteurized milk and used Fage plain yogurt as the starter and added sweetened condensed milk. I set the timer for 9 1/2 hours and it's PERFECT! This is the first time I've succeeded making yogurt. It pays to follow the recipe. Thanks so much!
Can you tell me what your first attempt was (on the milk)? Did you not use ultra-pasteurized milk and it didn't work? I want to use Simple Truth organic whole milk or Snowville, but they aren't ultra-pasteurized. I think she said in the video to put it on high setting so it boils? I need someone who has used non-ultra-pasteurized milk to confirm the results. LOL
I've seen like a hundred videos of how to make yogurt and you are the best at explaining what is really needed to know to star-making it., thanks a lot!!
I just bought my first Instant Pot specially for the yogurt setting to make vegan yogurt. The other videos were good, but did not include that the pot needs to be on “normal”, so I was confused when I selected the yogurt setting and it said “ boil”. You explained it for me. Thank you.
How'd your yogurt go? I'm lactose intolerant but still love having yogurt from time to time but vegan yogurt might be a good alternative since I do normally have soy milk. Do you have any tips and tricks for making your own vegan yogurt?
First, I want to express, how much all of your Instant Pot RUclips Videos have helped & supported me as a new owner of a pressure cooker. Your presentation style is professional, authentic, & I find you a pleasure to listen to! Thank you very much. I have now watched at least four (4) of your RUclips Videos. The "How To Make Yogurt In A Pressure Cooker" was incredibly helpful. I don't own an Instant Pot, but a Off-Shoot of the Instant Pot. I have had to do most of my cooking at home due to the Covid-19 Virus Pandemic Shelter-in-Palce Order. I just took out of my refrigerator an INCREDIBLE BATCH of chocolate, plain yogurt with sweetened condensed milk. It's BRILLIANT! I have been a CONSUMER FAN of "fa!rlife ultra-filtered milk" for quite some time now. I decided to use the WHOLE regular milk & combine it with the chocolate whole DHA Omega-3 milk. I would have never known, that even with using the YOGURT SETTING on my pressure cooker, it would take 8 hours & 30 minutes. Since, it was my 1st time, I started the process early in the morning, & it finished around 10:30 pm. I then, as you instructed placed the inner pot in my refrigerator overnight. My pressure cooker still counted DOWN the time left to finish. But, it did say "YOGURT," when it was finished. These are all pressure cooker skills, which I have learned from watching your RUclips Videos. Keep up the GREAT PUBLIC SERVICE!
Can you confirm that you had your setting on "normal" for 8.5 hours using the non-Fairlife whole milk? I want to use Simple Truth organic whole milk or Snowville whole milk, but I don't think they are ultra-pasteurized...I think in the video, she said to put it on high so it can boil? Did you skip the high setting and just used normal to still turn out just fine?
This is a very different way to make yogurt and I think I will try it. One suggestion for those wanting to use the Instant Pot lid is to REMOVE the liner from the lid before attaching it; the process never comes to pressure, as you said, so the seal is not needed. Without it, the smells and tastes (and perhaps those microbes!) will not be transferred to the yogurt.
I put my yogurt into little mason jars and put plastic Tops on them before I put them in the cooker really works. I mix a little bit of the milk with the starter in a pitcher and then pour it back into the bottle and pour that into the mason jars
Skip the specialty milk and condensed sugared milk, use regular whole milk and half and half, ratio 3 to 1, that will make thick creamy greek style yogurt with no straining required but as you know it will be high in calories but great in taste, it is so good you don't need topping but a little honey makes it a treat. Ive also tried using all half and half and boy is that good yogurt.
@@bonniesherwood3251 Hi Bonnie, Simply mix the whole milk and the half and half or just whole milk and you don't need to boil it, just bring to 180 degrees, I do mine in the microwave oven then set on counter covered until it comes down to 115 Fahrenheit and then stir in the starter, if you have any liquid whey you strained previously you can use that as the starter, at 115 to 120 I let it incubate for 16 hours but it could be ready in as little as 10 hours.
Lisa, first of all, it pays to have TWO pots! I made this yogurt last night. Put into the fridge this morning. Off to work. Then home. The first thing I had to do after washing my hands...Test the Lisa Yogurt. OH. DEAR. GOODNESS!! The best!! Lisa, I won’t have to buy yogurt AGAIN!, I have breakfast smoothies with yogurt every morning. THIS is perfect for me. Glad I found this quick, simple recipe. THANK YOU SO MUCH from Vancouver, Washington!!
I was gifted an Instant Pot and I tried your recipe for yogurt without the condensed milk and it was perfect! The best luck I've ever had with making yogurt! I also learned from you how to properly clean an Instant Pot! Thanks for both!
I do mine in small olive jars and use a mixture of whole A2 and goat milk. I heat my milk up in the microwave first and mix a teaspoon of yogurt culture in each jar with the milk.I sweeten mine with Stevia,add vanilla and it's just wonderful! I also save some for starter for the next batch a well.
Hello, from New Orleans! This yoghurt does not disappoint!! I made it yesterday for first time and thought it was thinner than I like, but it thickened up more after refrigeration. Next time, I’ll try 9 hrs. Super delicious- you are absolutely right about the sweetened condensed milk! Total game-changer. Thank you!
I am on my 8th batch of yogurt. The 1st batch was amazing and I am hoping this one is just as yummy as all the rest have been. The stores by us don't carry the Fairlife brand, so I used the A2 ultra pasteurized milk. It's a 59 ounce carton. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe with us ❤
I discovered your channel 2 days ago. I wanted to try making yogourt at home, and your video seemed the most straightforward-no fail method. So yesterday at noon, I went grocery shopping and came back with a 2-liter milk bottle (same brand you used), a small pot of yogourt with live cultures, and a can of Eagle Brand. I sterilized everything first, followed your steps precisely, and ended up with 2 liters of the most DELICIOUS YOGOURT EVER! 😋😋😋 Thank you some much. 🥰 I won't go back to store bought. 🌷🌻🌼🥀
made your yogurt recipe twice about 2 weeks ago,could not find anything but fine filtered milk so i tried it.my grandson loved it as it turned out like a yogurt drink when you stirred it up so he did it that way,lol.made it last night and put in the fridge today as i found the right milk,it is amazing,when he comes in after school he will love it.nice and thick and delicious.thank you for making this yogurt loving family and my wallet happy.
Made this. I will never do it any other way ever again. Thank you so much. This is so delicious. That sweetened condensed milk sweetens it just right and maybe that’s how it thickens because I did not strain. Just got a little of the whey off the top. I Like it with a little frozen fruit. By the time I get to lunch at work it’s just right.
I tried this recipe with the ultra pasteurized regular milk and 5% fat plain yogurt and it turned out to be amazing. What a great finding! Thank you Lisa
I used a shaker ball in a jar for initial mixing, then a big spoon to stir into remaining 1/2-gal of whole milk. No sweetener, 8.5 hrs. Perfect! I'm 75yo still working FT, 4am breakfast. Night before plain instant oatmeal+frozen berries+yogurt = easy breakfast, easy going down. Sometimes add few chopped nuts to mix.
Hi from Rotterdam the Netherlands! I just bought my second instantpot, a duo mini this time because of the size. Since this is a new pot I decided to make yoghurt for the first time. I can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing!
Just made it, I followed the directions exactly as stated except as a starter I used Cabot lowfat vanilla flavored greek yogurt and it came out tasting EXACTLY like the starter! I will never buy yogurt again!!! Thank you for the fantastic recipe!
I love this recipe. I’ve watched so many yogurt recipes and yours is the one that is connecting with me most. I’m finally ready to give it a go. I just found your channel yesterday and I am such a fan! I was so excited when I saw you shopping for shabu shabu at Ocean Mart which is my favorite Asian market. I’m in West Valley City. Thanks for all your great videos and wonderful information. I look forward to learning more from you!
Hello Lisa, For many years I've been making yogurt the ancient way with ONLY milk, nothing else and it's not difficult. Currently, I've no yogurt in my fridge but I shall buy a tub tomorrow please God and I'll try your recipe. I'd use the Instant Pot WITH its lid though! I'll just remove the (sealing ring) and it shall work perfectly! Thank you for this wonderful recipe; God bless you🙏🌹 Hello Lisa, I've edited and added the following. I made my yogurt in the Instant Pot and it was very easy to do with your instructions; it's very smooth and delicious! Thank you again for this video. God bless you🙏🌹
I just purchased my new 10 quart instant pot. It arrived yesterday and today I have just put my first pot of yogurt in my pot while watching your video to make sure I did it right. The only thing is I used a whole gallon of milk instead of 58 once’s. I love your videos. I watch you all the time. Could you do a video on flavoring the yogurt. I will let you know how it comes out. Keep up the good work.
You are my go to for all things IP. I have made this yogurt several times. It’s always good ! I just don’t do condensed milk. I add sugar free sweetener after it’s done. ❤❤❤
I am a believe! I made this last night, I let it chill in the refrigerator and now I am making a new batch because I want to make yogurt popsicles for tomorrow! Thank you for the recipe.
I use the whole carton of store-bought yogurt starter. If you only use half of the sweetened condensed milk, you can freeze the other half. You can also use flavored yogurt starter and it adds just a hint of whatever flavor you use. I also mix the starter and a little milk in a separate container because my whisk has scratched the Instant Pot liner. Honestly though this is the best and easiest yogurt recipe!
From OHIO USA here. This is great. I make yogurt in IP but have not used the sweetened condensed milk. Also I go cheap and buy regular milk because ultra pasteurized is pricey but I may just start using it. Still way less expensive than buying it already made
I made it!!!! Thank you for such an easy recipe. Woke up this morning with homemade Instant pot yoghurt made with Hokkaido whole milk and yoghurt. So so happy.
Hi, was living in Tokyo back then so could get yoghurt and milk from Hokkaido from Aeon or any supermarkets. We have moved back to Singapore already. Japanese supermarkets here do carry these imported yoghurt and milk here too. Thank you again for replying.
Just tried it. Very good and very fresh tasting. My kid and I love the sweetness, wife not so much. So next batch we’ll do without the sweetened condensed milk.
I am new to Instant Pot. I just got a Duo Plus. I knew nothing about pressure cooking and your videos made things feel far less daunting. I'm slowly getting rid of all my appliances (egg cooker, rice maker, steamer, crockpot, etc.) because I can do everything with the Instant Pot. Thanks for your videos. By the way, I'm living in Paros, Greece.
Hoy hice mi primer yogurt en instant pot y tienes toda la razón... Es el mejor yogurt que haya probado. Un millón de gracias por toda la información. Fue super fácil hacerlo
Wish I saw your video first before I made my yogurt. It would have saved me the trouble of trying to clean my IP ring. Mind blown that I could have used a regular pot lid for this. Subscribed!
I have made three batches this week. I would have bought the instant pot just for this recipe. Your channel is great. I have been watching lots of your videos. I started mine with vanilla yogurt instead of plain. Your channel has me using my Instant Pot . Keep the videos coming!
Thanks very much for letting us know the purpose of buying extra glas lid. Knew u can buy one but didnot knew for what. Now I know it. Thank u so much. Love watching the instant pot cooking styles. Yogurt making is so simple. I make it with Soya milk.
Absolutely perfect. Made today and I am astounded by how perfectly balanced it is. I did strain it for 4 hours and it is the perfect consistency for me.
For anyone reading this, you truly can use ultra pasteurized it doesn't necessarily have to be "filtered". I've done it a million times and it comes out right. Lastly, I pop everything (starter, milk, sweeter of choice) into my Vitamix on low and it's faster and easier than beating. Pour it into your inner liner and proceed.
Hi Lisa! I live in Colorado at 9,300 feet above sea level which makes it a challenge to adjust cooking times to account for the altitude. Thanks for sharing your recipe for IP yogurt. I can't wait to give it a try.
My 1st Instant Pot yogurt is going to be done in about 2 hours. It looks perfect and I am so excited to try it out after it's chilled. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️
I got the wrong milk , so I used the other method to heat the milk to a certain degree. But then used your way. It was simple , came out thick and it's yummy.
This is a great video! I have been making yogurt the traditional Indian way and didn’t quite believe it when you didn’t heat the milk. I tried your method right away (at 1:00 am!) and it turned out amazing!! I didn’t use the whole can of condensed milk since we like our curd unsweetened. Great recipe!! Will definitely be making more!
I have made it traditional way for a long time now but I would love to use my pot now since it eliminates the scrubbing of pot at the end. I couldn’t believe not boiling the milk either!
I made this last night. It Is sooooo good! I used Fairlife, but next time will try the Costco brand. I used ½ a can of sweetened condensed milk and it was perfect! Thanks for the recipe!
I just received my Instant Pot as a birthday present. Your easy and informative videos have helped take the intimidation factor away for me. First thing I made was your yogurt recipe! My family loved it!! 😁
I'm so glad i found your video!!!! I have watched several that did not explain ultra filtered and ultra pasteurized. I had never paid attention to Fairlife milk before. I eat greek yogurt every day. I will be making my first batch of yogurt tonight. Thank you so much ❤
I use this basic recipe and it works very well. I have used several different milks. I have found the most luxurious one I made was from Half and Half. I don't make the big batch like you. I have small canning jars that I pour the mixture in so I can grab and individual and put it in my lunch box. I don't use the metal lids that come with the jars. when I buy the jars I buy a corresponding number of the plastic lids. I do sanitize the jars prior to making yogurt. I have done this in both a boiling water bath to using the instant pot to sterilize them. Both seem to work. I usually have to do it in two or more batches.
Great tip on creating your own Starter for the next batch, taking 2 tablespoons of full of yogurt and freezing it for your next batch! Great Tips! Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this video. I'm planning on making this shortly and looking for a NO SUGAR attempt, but I plan of making it with a touch of honey for the wife. But I do like it tart! Thanks again!
Lisa, I just got an 8-quart Pro, and you are helping me learn the basics. I made the yogurt last night, and it's not horrible but as you mentioned in other videos, I need to tweak the unit and ratios to get the right taste. I will see you in other videos. THANKS
Okay, it’s 11:35pm, I’m headed to bed after throwing together the makings for my first batch of homemade IP vanilla yogurt. Thank you, Lisa, for forging the path and removing my anxiety.
WOW I did make this and it turned out great. I had to give my two granddaughters half because it made so much.no straining and a great taste.its a keeper, tks and BTW don’t use a whisk in your pot it will leave marks, but a great recipe.
This is the first video that answered why my yogurt sometimes turns out grainy. Thank you! I just started a new pot and used my whisk for several minutes before pushing the yogurt button. I have high hopes for a perfect batch!
I just saw this video and I am going to give it a try. You make it look easy! I bought an Instant Pot to use during the quarantine, so I am learning and trying lots of new recipes. Watching from beautiful Bloomingdale, New Jersey.
Hi Lisa, I made yogurt yesterday and followed your recipe and I am so grateful!! It is so creamy and just perfect!! Thank you and love all your videos!!!❤️
WOW!!! This came out so delicious! I used Fairlife 2% and Icelandic Provisions Skyr vanilla for nine hours in the IP. This yogurt hit it out of the park. SO GOOD.
Lisa, your videos are total game-changers. 😁 I thought it would be difficult or overly expensive to start yogurt in the Instant Pot, but the only major expenses I foresee are the glass lid (at least at first), and the milk, because the only ultra-pasteurized milk I can get is organic, and that tends to be pricey. But compared to buying those individual tubs of yogurt that aren't always on sale, it's more economical, as I foresee it. Plus I can control sugar content this way and get super creative with the toppings, as well as use my own yogurt for recipes. 😁😁 Oh, to answer your location question, I'm in Iowa. 😁
Well, I just made my first batch of yogurt, following your instructions. Despite my fears, it turned out fabulous!!! I eat it every day with fruit. Thanks!!! BTW, I used a plate to cover the pot.
Hey Lisa thanks so much I followed your steps. I didn't get organic milk but, I purchased lactose whole milk, it came out perfect. So perfect one of my picky eaters ate 2 whole bowls full. Thanks again!
Watching from Toronto, Canada. I just bought an Instant Pot to help get through the pandemic with taste. You will be my second recipe. Short Ribs just had to be my first. My question is: If I start off using a Greek Yogurt will I get a thicker result?
I just made this yesterday...it came out incredible. Thanks so much for your video. I'm so glad I used yours because the others I saw made it seem a lot more complicated. This really does produce incredible yogurt.
I’ve been making this ever so easy method of cold start yogurt, that I brag and brag some more... I constantly share your link to show others just how simple this is. I make it at night, in the fridge in the morning, ready to transfer to jars when I get off work. Oh yes!! This is my one and only go to for my fresh, smooth, creamy, perfectly sweetened homemade yogurt! Thank you so much Lisa for sharing this and many other IP recipes.(by the way, I just made some last night and had some tonight😋😋)
Good morning, Tiffy! Does the yogurt thicken up as it sits in the refrigerator? Mine seems like it might not have thickened enough. I used the Ultra Mini, but there wasn’t a “normal” setting.
Thank you so much for doing this video on yogurt! I buy a lot of yogurt from the grocery store and have wanted to try making some in my instant pot. The yogurt feature/function was one of the main reasons I bought the Instant Pot but I've been too scared to give it a go. You did an excellent job with the instructions and have assuaged all of my concerns! I'll definitely try your recipe 😊
Excellent demo of IP yogurt. My fav yogurt ever, long time ago, was Dannon banana. They discontinued it so now I can make my own with pureed banana at the bottom. Can't wait.
Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! Do you have any questions about Instant Pot yogurt? Leave em below! If not and you’re new, tell me where you’re watching from!! Have a great day! - Lisa

Yessss,because the liner is what collects that smell,I agree 100% thanks for the tip 🙂
I thought it was just me. Mine smells like pinto beans🙄
James,
You mean the sealing ring!
@@Pattys1967
You mean the sealing ring!
My Instant Pot came with two sealing rings, the clear one which I use for savory dishes, and a red one which I use for yoghurt and sweet dishes.
I put my yogurt into little mason jars and put plastic Tops on them before I put them in the cooker really works. I mix a little bit of the milk with the starter in a pitcher and then pour it back into the bottle and pour that into the mason jars
Skip the specialty milk and condensed sugared milk, use regular whole milk and half and half, ratio 3 to 1, that will make thick creamy greek style yogurt with no straining required but as you know it will be high in calories but great in taste, it is so good you don't need topping but a little honey makes it a treat. Ive also tried using all half and half and boy is that good yogurt.
SCOTT DC if you use regular milk, do you then do the typical boiling of the milk before adding starter? Thanks, Bonnie
@@bonniesherwood3251 Hi Bonnie, Simply mix the whole milk and the half and half or just whole milk and you don't need to boil it, just bring to 180 degrees, I do mine in the microwave oven then set on counter covered until it comes down to 115 Fahrenheit and then stir in the starter, if you have any liquid whey you strained previously you can use that as the starter, at 115 to 120 I let it incubate for 16 hours but it could be ready in as little as 10 hours.
As a dude, I'm very appreciative that you don't have background music. Makes the video more appealing. Oh and the content is great hahaha
Lisa, first of all, it pays to have TWO pots! I made this yogurt last night. Put into the fridge this morning. Off to work. Then home. The first thing I had to do after washing my hands...Test the Lisa Yogurt. OH. DEAR. GOODNESS!! The best!! Lisa, I won’t have to buy yogurt AGAIN!, I have breakfast smoothies with yogurt every morning. THIS is perfect for me. Glad I found this quick, simple recipe. THANK YOU SO MUCH from Vancouver, Washington!!
I was gifted an Instant Pot and I tried your recipe for yogurt without the condensed milk and it was perfect! The best luck I've ever had with making yogurt! I also learned from you how to properly clean an Instant Pot! Thanks for both!
I made my first batch of plain yogurt the other day and I agree that it tastes so fresh and clean!
I do mine in small olive jars and use a mixture of whole A2 and goat milk. I heat my milk up in the microwave first and mix a teaspoon of yogurt culture in each jar with the milk.I sweeten mine with Stevia,add vanilla and it's just wonderful! I also save some for starter for the next batch a well.
Thanks for sharing, will try using goat milk also. Quick question: do you freeze your starter or just leave in the fridge?
I've had two failed batches so I appreciate how detailed and specific this is. Thank you!
Hello, from New Orleans! This yoghurt does not disappoint!! I made it yesterday for first time and thought it was thinner than I like, but it thickened up more after refrigeration. Next time, I’ll try 9 hrs. Super delicious- you are absolutely right about the sweetened condensed milk! Total game-changer. Thank you!
I leave mine on yogurt mode for 15h and it comes up thick and yummy !
I am on my 8th batch of yogurt. The 1st batch was amazing and I am hoping this one is just as yummy as all the rest have been. The stores by us don't carry the Fairlife brand, so I used the A2 ultra pasteurized milk. It's a 59 ounce carton. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe with us ❤
I discovered your channel 2 days ago. I wanted to try making yogourt at home, and your video seemed the most straightforward-no fail method.
So yesterday at noon, I went grocery shopping and came back with a 2-liter milk bottle (same brand you used), a small pot of yogourt with live cultures, and a can of Eagle Brand.
I sterilized everything first, followed your steps precisely, and ended up with 2 liters of the most DELICIOUS YOGOURT EVER! 😋😋😋
Thank you some much. 🥰 I won't go back to store bought. 🌷🌻🌼🥀
made your yogurt recipe twice about 2 weeks ago,could not find anything but fine filtered milk so i tried it.my grandson loved it as it turned out like a yogurt drink when you stirred it up so he did it that way,lol.made it last night and put in the fridge today as i found the right milk,it is amazing,when he comes in after school he will love it.nice and thick and delicious.thank you for making this yogurt loving family and my wallet happy.
Made this. I will never do it any other way ever again. Thank you so much. This is so delicious. That sweetened condensed milk sweetens it just right and maybe that’s how it thickens because I did not strain. Just got a little of the whey off the top.
I Like it with a little frozen fruit. By the time I get to lunch at work it’s just right.
Did the same with frozen blueberries in small reusable containers. Wife took one to work and said it traveled well. Great and easy recipe..
In times like these, I appreciate what you are doing here- sharing simple, economical dishes that are tasty af and totally do-able!
I tried this recipe with the ultra pasteurized regular milk and 5% fat plain yogurt and it turned out to be amazing. What a great finding! Thank you Lisa
I used a shaker ball in a jar for initial mixing, then a big spoon to stir into remaining 1/2-gal of whole milk. No sweetener, 8.5 hrs. Perfect! I'm 75yo still working FT, 4am breakfast. Night before plain instant oatmeal+frozen berries+yogurt = easy breakfast, easy going down. Sometimes add few chopped nuts to mix.
Hi from Rotterdam the Netherlands! I just bought my second instantpot, a duo mini this time because of the size. Since this is a new pot I decided to make yoghurt for the first time. I can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing!
Just made it, I followed the directions exactly as stated except as a starter I used Cabot lowfat vanilla flavored greek yogurt and it came out tasting EXACTLY like the starter! I will never buy yogurt again!!! Thank you for the fantastic recipe!
but you will... and have
I love this recipe. I’ve watched so many yogurt recipes and yours is the one that is connecting with me most. I’m finally ready to give it a go. I just found your channel yesterday and I am such a fan! I was so excited when I saw you shopping for shabu shabu at Ocean Mart which is my favorite Asian market. I’m in West Valley City. Thanks for all your great videos and wonderful information. I look forward to learning more from you!
Hello Lisa,
For many years I've been making yogurt the ancient way with ONLY milk, nothing else and it's not difficult. Currently, I've no yogurt in my fridge but I shall buy a tub tomorrow please God and I'll try your recipe. I'd use the Instant Pot WITH its lid though! I'll just remove the (sealing ring) and it shall work perfectly!
Thank you for this wonderful recipe; God bless you🙏🌹
Hello Lisa,
I've edited and added the following.
I made my yogurt in the Instant Pot and it was very easy to do with your instructions; it's very smooth and delicious! Thank you again for this video. God bless you🙏🌹
I just purchased my new 10 quart instant pot. It arrived yesterday and today I have just put my first pot of yogurt in my pot while watching your video to make sure I did it right. The only thing is I used a whole gallon of milk instead of 58 once’s. I love your videos. I watch you all the time. Could you do a video on flavoring the yogurt. I will let you know how it comes out. Keep up the good work.
I have 8qt, I tried this recipe 😋 and now my boys and I CANT GET ENOUGH!!!! 😃THANK YOU. FOREVER GRATEFUL
You are my go to for all things IP. I have made this yogurt several times. It’s always good ! I just don’t do condensed milk. I add sugar free sweetener after it’s done. ❤❤❤
I am a believe! I made this last night, I let it chill in the refrigerator and now I am making a new batch because I want to make yogurt popsicles for tomorrow! Thank you for the recipe.
I use the whole carton of store-bought yogurt starter. If you only use half of the sweetened condensed milk, you can freeze the other half. You can also use flavored yogurt starter and it adds just a hint of whatever flavor you use. I also mix the starter and a little milk in a separate container because my whisk has scratched the Instant Pot liner. Honestly though this is the best and easiest yogurt recipe!
I’m going to try this tomorrow but only 2 ingredients. No condensed milk. I will sweeten the yogurt to taste each time I serve. Let’s go!!
From OHIO USA here. This is great. I make yogurt in IP but have not used the sweetened condensed milk. Also I go cheap and buy regular milk because ultra pasteurized is pricey but I may just start using it. Still way less expensive than buying it already made
I use the ultra pasteurized milk and it makes a big difference. Much better texture.
I made it!!!! Thank you for such an easy recipe. Woke up this morning with homemade Instant pot yoghurt made with Hokkaido whole milk and yoghurt. So so happy.
Are you in the States? If so, where did you find Hokkaido milk? 😯😯😯
Hi, was living in Tokyo back then so could get yoghurt and milk from Hokkaido from Aeon or any supermarkets. We have moved back to Singapore already. Japanese supermarkets here do carry these imported yoghurt and milk here too. Thank you again for replying.
Just tried it. Very good and very fresh tasting. My kid and I love the sweetness, wife not so much. So next batch we’ll do without the sweetened condensed milk.
Your wife is one smart cookie. That can of sweetened condensed milk has 72 sugar cubes in it.
I am new to Instant Pot. I just got a Duo Plus. I knew nothing about pressure cooking and your videos made things feel far less daunting. I'm slowly getting rid of all my appliances (egg cooker, rice maker, steamer, crockpot, etc.) because I can do everything with the Instant Pot. Thanks for your videos. By the way, I'm living in Paros, Greece.
Hoy hice mi primer yogurt en instant pot y tienes toda la razón... Es el mejor yogurt que haya probado. Un millón de gracias por toda la información. Fue super fácil hacerlo
Wish I saw your video first before I made my yogurt. It would have saved me the trouble of trying to clean my IP ring. Mind blown that I could have used a regular pot lid for this. Subscribed!
I have made three batches this week. I would have bought the instant pot just for this recipe. Your channel is great. I have been watching lots of your videos. I started mine with vanilla yogurt instead of plain. Your channel has me using my Instant Pot . Keep the videos coming!
Thanks very much for letting us know the purpose of buying extra glas lid. Knew u can buy one but didnot knew for what. Now I know it. Thank u so much. Love watching the instant pot cooking styles. Yogurt making is so simple. I make it with Soya milk.
Absolutely perfect. Made today and I am astounded by how perfectly balanced it is. I did strain it for 4 hours and it is the perfect consistency for me.
For anyone reading this, you truly can use ultra pasteurized it doesn't necessarily have to be "filtered". I've done it a million times and it comes out right. Lastly, I pop everything (starter, milk, sweeter of choice) into my Vitamix on low and it's faster and easier than beating. Pour it into your inner liner and proceed.
Or maybe Whip it up with your immersion blender stick
Hi Lisa! I live in Colorado at 9,300 feet above sea level which makes it a challenge to adjust cooking times to account for the altitude. Thanks for sharing your recipe for IP yogurt. I can't wait to give it a try.
My 1st Instant Pot yogurt is going to be done in about 2 hours. It looks perfect and I am so excited to try it out after it's chilled. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️
I got the wrong milk , so I used the other method to heat the milk to a certain degree. But then used your way. It was simple , came out thick and it's yummy.
Did you cool it completely or was it warm and then your added the culture. So this cold method she uses won’t work with normal pasteurized milk ?
Thank you! Most informative video! Especially appreciate the info about ultra pasteurized vs ultra filtered.
This is a great video! I have been making yogurt the traditional Indian way and didn’t quite believe it when you didn’t heat the milk. I tried your method right away (at 1:00 am!) and it turned out amazing!! I didn’t use the whole can of condensed milk since we like our curd unsweetened. Great recipe!! Will definitely be making more!
I have made it traditional way for a long time now but I would love to use my pot now since it eliminates the scrubbing of pot at the end. I couldn’t believe not boiling the milk either!
I made this last night. It Is sooooo good! I used Fairlife, but next time will try the Costco brand. I used ½ a can of sweetened condensed milk and it was perfect! Thanks for the recipe!
I just received my Instant Pot as a birthday present. Your easy and informative videos have helped take the intimidation factor away for me. First thing I made was your yogurt recipe! My family loved it!! 😁
I'm so glad i found your video!!!! I have watched several that did not explain ultra filtered and ultra pasteurized. I had never paid attention to Fairlife milk before. I eat greek yogurt every day. I will be making my first batch of yogurt tonight. Thank you so much ❤
OMG - best yogurt I’ve ever had! Love the tartness & sweetness levels! Thanks for this! On my third batch now❤️
I use this basic recipe and it works very well. I have used several different milks. I have found the most luxurious one I made was from Half and Half. I don't make the big batch like you. I have small canning jars that I pour the mixture in so I can grab and individual and put it in my lunch box. I don't use the metal lids that come with the jars. when I buy the jars I buy a corresponding number of the plastic lids. I do sanitize the jars prior to making yogurt. I have done this in both a boiling water bath to using the instant pot to sterilize them. Both seem to work. I usually have to do it in two or more batches.
I just made the yogurt yesterday. I didn’t think that it would be this easy. It came out perfect. Our family loved it. Thank you so much.
I made this yesterday. I’m a convert. So good
I made this last night, I did everything you said, It turned out perfect! Thank you, so much!😇❤
Thank you for the time & trouble you took to show us. I appreciate it & am sure other folk do to . God bless. ❤
Great tip on creating your own Starter for the next batch, taking 2 tablespoons of full of yogurt and freezing it for your next batch! Great Tips! Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this video. I'm planning on making this shortly and looking for a NO SUGAR attempt, but I plan of making it with a touch of honey for the wife. But I do like it tart! Thanks again!
Lisa, I just got an 8-quart Pro, and you are helping me learn the basics. I made the yogurt last night, and it's not horrible but as you mentioned in other videos, I need to tweak the unit and ratios to get the right taste. I will see you in other videos. THANKS
I have used this recipe twice so far. I really enjoy it
Hi Lisa….I received my New Instant pot today Friday…just to indulge in making your inspiring yogurt method…from Trinidad and Tobago
I am from Kansas. I just got my Instant Pot as a gift. I have been watching your videos to figure this out. Thank you for your videos!
Okay, it’s 11:35pm, I’m headed to bed after throwing together the makings for my first batch of homemade IP vanilla yogurt. Thank you, Lisa, for forging the path and removing my anxiety.
How did you make the vanilla yogurt that's whati want to make
I’m from Los Angeles and I’ve been curious about the process of making IP yogurt. Thank you for sharing your method and erasing my anxieties.
kiltlvr curious questions! Why did you need to preface that you’re from LA?
kiltlvr curious questions! Why did you need to preface that you’re from LA?
Lisa had asked where are you from in the video and she please put in the comments.
I just found this video and it has changed my life! Thank you!
WOW I did make this and it turned out great. I had to give my two granddaughters half because it made so much.no straining and a great taste.its a keeper, tks and BTW don’t use a whisk in your pot it will leave marks, but a great recipe.
This is the first video that answered why my yogurt sometimes turns out grainy. Thank you! I just started a new pot and used my whisk for several minutes before pushing the yogurt button. I have high hopes for a perfect batch!
It wasn't perfect, but it was the best batch so far.
I just saw this video and I am going to give it a try. You make it look easy! I bought an Instant Pot to use during the quarantine, so I am learning and trying lots of new recipes. Watching from beautiful Bloomingdale, New Jersey.
Hi Lisa, I made yogurt yesterday and followed your recipe and I am so grateful!! It is so creamy and just perfect!! Thank you and love all your videos!!!❤️
WOW!!! This came out so delicious! I used Fairlife 2% and Icelandic Provisions Skyr vanilla for nine hours in the IP. This yogurt hit it out of the park. SO GOOD.
Lisa, your videos are total game-changers. 😁 I thought it would be difficult or overly expensive to start yogurt in the Instant Pot, but the only major expenses I foresee are the glass lid (at least at first), and the milk, because the only ultra-pasteurized milk I can get is organic, and that tends to be pricey. But compared to buying those individual tubs of yogurt that aren't always on sale, it's more economical, as I foresee it. Plus I can control sugar content this way and get super creative with the toppings, as well as use my own yogurt for recipes. 😁😁
Oh, to answer your location question, I'm in Iowa. 😁
Well, I just made my first batch of yogurt, following your instructions. Despite my fears, it turned out fabulous!!! I eat it every day with fruit. Thanks!!! BTW, I used a plate to cover the pot.
I just made this yogurt and OMG ITS SO AMAZING!!!! IM IN LOVEEEE
Hey Lisa thanks so much I followed your steps. I didn't get organic milk but, I purchased lactose whole milk, it came out perfect. So perfect one of my picky eaters ate 2 whole bowls full. Thanks again!
Wonderful!
You should try eating it warm as soon as it’s done. It’s excellent!
I’m in Australia and I made my yoghurt with Woolworths Uht Full Cream milk, worked beautifully, delicious yoghurt.
I am making some for my daughter right now. She loves it
Watching from Toronto, Canada. I just bought an Instant Pot to help get through the pandemic with taste. You will be my second recipe. Short Ribs just had to be my first. My question is: If I start off using a Greek Yogurt will I get a thicker result?
i use Greek yogurt as a starter and its fine this actually makes a Greek style yogurt except its flavored
Made this recipe yesterday...this is so good. Thank you ❤
I just made this yesterday...it came out incredible. Thanks so much for your video. I'm so glad I used yours because the others I saw made it seem a lot more complicated. This really does produce incredible yogurt.
I just discovered your RUclips and I love it. So nice that you can do something that you love during the day when the children are in school.
Thank you for the demo. I just found this this afternoon and I know I will be able to replicate it now.
I’ve been making this ever so easy method of cold start yogurt, that I brag and brag some more... I constantly share your link to show others just how simple this is. I make it at night, in the fridge in the morning, ready to transfer to jars when I get off work. Oh yes!! This is my one and only go to for my fresh, smooth, creamy, perfectly sweetened homemade yogurt! Thank you so much Lisa for sharing this and many other IP recipes.(by the way, I just made some last night and had some tonight😋😋)
Good morning, Tiffy! Does the yogurt thicken up as it sits in the refrigerator? Mine seems like it might not have thickened enough. I used the Ultra Mini, but there wasn’t a “normal” setting.
Wow! it came out the perfect yogurt with the right amount of sweetness. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for doing this video on yogurt! I buy a lot of yogurt from the grocery store and have wanted to try making some in my instant pot. The yogurt feature/function was one of the main reasons I bought the Instant Pot but I've been too scared to give it a go. You did an excellent job with the instructions and have assuaged all of my concerns! I'll definitely try your recipe 😊
One bite was life changing! I will never buy a store bought yogurt again. This is a new staple in my home. Thank you.❤
Lisa, you do a great job walking us through this, thank you so much!
Since I got instant pot I’m obsessed with your channel! Just made my first batch!!! Thank you!
Decided to let you know that I tried it and it worked!!! thank you so much
The best demonstration I’ve watched , very easy to understand. Thank you
Excellent demo of IP yogurt. My fav yogurt ever, long time ago, was Dannon banana. They discontinued it so now I can make my own with pureed banana at the bottom. Can't wait.
