This homemade Instant Pot Yoghurt is easy to make and is so versatile! You can make it how want - thick and creamy or thin, sweet or more tangy like Greek yoghurt.
Pour the milk into the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
Add a glass lid if you want and press the Yoghurt button until is says boil and press the start button. Heat until it reaches about 82˚C / 180˚F. This can take around 20 minutes or so, but stay close as it depends on the model of Instant Pot you have and how much milk you are heating.
Allow the milk to cool to about 43˚C / 110˚F. To do this quicker, remove the inner pot from the Instant pot and sit it on the kitchen bench. If you find that a skin forms on top of the milk, remove and discard it.
Place the yoghurt starter into a small bowl.
Add a little of the warm milk into the bowl and mix with the starter until smooth.
Stir the milk/yoghurt mixture back into the warm milk pot.
Lock the lid in place, leaving the pressure valve open. Press yoghurt on the Instant Pot and set for 8 to 10 hours, depending on how tangy you would like the yoghurt. The longer you leave it, the more tangy it will be.
Remove the inner pot from the Instant Pot and place in the fridge for at least four hours, to allow it to fully set before serving.
Once set, enjoy on its own or with toppings of your choice.
Greek Yoghurt
After the yoghurt has finished incubating, place a cheesecloth over a fine mesh strainer. Set this on top of a large bowl.Pour the yoghurt into the strainer and allow it to strain for around 2 to 6 hours. Scoop out the thick Greek yoghurt and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Note: If you let the yoghurt strain for too long, you may find that it becomes more like cream cheese than yoghurt.
