I have been making this for months for my friends daughter that has stage 4 cancer. It’s one of the very few things she can eat due to the nausea, and mouth sores that chemo causes. Now she only wants my yogurt 😁

Okay I made your three ingredient yogurt tonight for the first time. I want to preface this by telling you that I never liked plain yogurt because to me it smells like stinky feet. LOL when I put it together, all I could smell was that stinky feet smell from the plain yogurt. The eight hours just finished and I tasted it and it is OMG fantastic! It's in the fridge and I'm so looking forward to eating it for breakfast tomorrow with some fruit and almonds. Thank you so much for this recipe! Oh, I wanted to tell you that I bought the wrong milk. I bought Fairlife but I bought the one that was no fat and ultra pasteurized. I wasn't sure if it would work but I decided to try it anyway. It worked perfectly! It's creamy and the Spoon stood up when I placed it in the yogurt. This is so much cheaper than buying all those individual containers of yogurt and making all that plastic waste! Thank you so much for making this video!

I see this is an older video but I am so happy to have found yogurt done by you as you got me into using my IP with confidence from my IP beginning and your methods are straight forward and I trust you. Thanks for keeping even your older material online.

Just wanted to share how much I love your yogurt recipe. I don’t sweeten mine because I use it for lots of things. This week my 4yr old-great granddaughter wanted to help so I measured and she dumped and whisked and even pushed the yogurt button......she was so excited. As always it turned out great! Thank you so very much for your easy to do and follow recipes.

I think this tastes like Greek yogurt already ! I’ve made it once and I’m hooked never going back 😂

Love, love, love this yogurt. I was skeptical as to how it would turn out, but it was delicious! The only change I made was to add a tablespoon of vanilla because that’s my favorite. I had friends taste test the yogurt and everyone agreed it is the better than store bought. This recipe is a keeper! ❤️

Just made this with sweetened condensed coconut milk. A little more liquidy so I strained it and it got greek yogurt thick. Has nutty coconut flavor but very good!

I have been making my yogurt with this cold start way every week for many months. My store never has the Fairlife whole milk so I use the organic whole milk from Walmart and add the sweetened condensed milk and yogurt starter stirred well then do the yogurt setting on the instant pot. I do strain it into the yogurt strainer because I love Greek style and it is fabulous. If you use a good Organic milk there is no need to boil the milk. The Cold Start method always works.

I used this recipe and made yogurt the other night and it turned out amazing! Thank you for the recipe. One thing though... The video confused me a bit regarding the lid and you mentioned that you can use the lid or put a plate on top and I was thinking... I want to use the lid, so does it need to be on venting or sealing? So I went to you site, found the recipe and unlike the video it said to put the lid on sealing. I did and it worked. Maybe it doesn't matter, I don't know but... if you're on the fence regarding sealing or venting... Sealing worked for me. :)

It is much easier to put the Sweetened condensed milk in the pot first, then wisk in the yogurt, and finally two glugs of the milk, wisk, then add the rest of the milk. Mixes together much easier.

Making my own yogurt was happiness! The only other food I've made in the IP, was oxtails & recently I've made oatmeal in it. This is the recipe for LIFE!! I've tried the boil method & ended up with, not yogurt it was Kefir 😒😂😂 I'll use maybe half of the condensed milk & add some vanilla extra. Soooo good!! Two weeks ago, I used vanilla bean pods. I loved seeing the lil specs of the vanilla bean in the yogurt. I've used a blueberry, mixed berry, strawberry & peach yogurt, as the starter & while it changes the color slightly, it's still soooo good! I usually go for 8:30, just a lil extra tang, extra razzle dazzle😊 The no boil method....game changer!

I had been on the fence about owning an instapot until my Hubby surprised me with one last week. I made this and figured it would make or break me on the instapot 😂 I was blown away at how easy this recipe is. So delicious and creamy! Thank You for the great tutorial... will be making this regularly.

I have been making my yogurt this way for almost a year. I whisk my 2T of yogurt w/ live cultures and a little milk in a small bowl before adding to the milk and sweetened condensed milk mixture.I also find placing a paper towel between the lid and the pot during the process also helps with condensation. We love it! Tfs! 🤗

I made this last night and it is absolutely delicious! I had to shame myself to not eat anymore after the third trip to the refrigerator. Big hit with the nine year old as well.

I made this yogurt primarily for myself because I was looking for new recipes during at home. Everyone in the house absolutely loved it.

This is literally a game changer! I can't begin to tell you how how much I love this yogurt (& so does my family!) I leave the SCM out and we sweeten ours with local honey and top with fresh or frozen fruit! AMAZING!

I just made this and it is delicious! I love that it's sweet enough but not too sweet. The taste reminds me of the yogurt in Chick-fil-A's parfaits. It's really good and creamy! I had to set mine for 11 hours and it turned out fantastic.

I looked at it Karen Peterson's yogurt recipe and she also said you had to have a yogurt function so HSN had duo60 on sale and it has the yogurt function on it and I had a coupon so I went ahead and bought it. I will be trying this on May 9th when my machine arrives LOL I love you're instant pot videos! I would not have any confidence in this machine at all without your help. People are amazed when I bring food and tell them how quickly I made it and in what kind of machine I made it. Some of them are old people (I'm 71 so I can say that 😁) and they just refuse to try an electric pressure cooker. Their loss. you know most of those people have flip phones too LOL

Ok. I don't know if your the greatest woman or the meanest woman on the planet, but I just made this. ...AND I LOVE IT! I can eat this by the gallon. Oh, and by the way, I've NEVER liked or cared about yogurt before. Ty. P.S. Added a squirt of Welches Grape Jelly and passed out.

I just pulled this out of my instant pot and it is so good! I was worried it would be too sweet or not turn out and it is perfect! Thank you! I’m so grateful I don’t have to boil it anymore.

I made this, and added pumpkin and pumpkin spice. So yummy. 😋

I made this for the first time yesterday and cooled it in the fridge overnight. This is absolutely the best yogurt I have ever tasted. I also made some of your Power Packed granola from your website to go along with the yogurt and that came out great also. My husband, who is neither a yogurt nor a granola lover, had a bowl of yogurt topped with granola for breakfast this morning.

I was in a grocery store shared this with an older lady she was going to checkout the channel and try the yogurt !! It felt great to share this with the cost of food making bigger amounts save us money !! Also I process it the hard I’m wanting it in less moving so it stays thicker

I think I’m going to try this with condensed coconut milk! And make a regular batch as well!! Thank you so much!!! You’ve taken all the intimidation out of making yogurt!!!! ❤️

I made this yogurt last night and I think it's the best yogurt I've ever eaten. Creamy, not too tart and just the right amount of sweetness. I did strain it for about 3 hours and that was perfect for us. Thanks for a fabulous recipe.

I made this yesterday and let it sit in the fridge overnight, and it is so yummy! Just like I like my yogurt, super thick and creamy, with a bit of sweetness!

Ok, just watched this yesterday and showed the wife. We made it before bed and woke up to amazing yogurt! I was like "It actually worked?!". Kids loved it too for breakfast not even chilled!

I had done this several times and it always comes out great. I’ve done quite a few of your recipes and every one came out so good. Keep these videos coming thank you.

Ok. This is just the best. Really. I have made yogurt a lot in the IP. I had no clue you could do it without heating up and then cooling and checking temperatures. It worked! I like to strain mine through a colander lined with coffee filters. Over a bowl in the fridge a few hrs and this was the best Greek yogurt I’ve ever made. Ever. A little honey. Some fruit. Oh my gosh. Thank you, Kristen.

My husband bought me a used 8 qt. Instant Pot with a bunch of accessories. Price was too good to pass up he said. Liked it so much he said I should get another to use just for yogurt since I've wanted to make some for a long time. So here I am at almost 71 making my first yogurt of any kind. this is also only my 2nd time using an Instant Pot. Hubby said this appliance is all mine to use. He will keep doing the air frying. Works for me. My new pot is a 3 qt. My yogurt will be done around 9pm and then I shall put it in the fridge and try it in the morning. Fingers crossed. I am used to eating the flavored types so will possibly end up adding fruit or honey if needed. This recipe is so easy! TY for posting it.

The Instant Pot is not a big thing in the UK but I have one and absolutely love it. If any other UK people want to use the cold method for yogurt just use UHT milk, it's already been boiled so can be used for the cold start. This is what I'm trying next, love making yogurt in my instant pot.

My goodness, thank you so much for this amazing way to do yogurt! Two years ago my daughter made it in the Instant Pot in which it was time consuming process. I believe it must have been Greek and she had special jars for it and a special type of container too. But it was delish! I didn't try it due to the long long time consuming process. But you bet I WILL try yours!!!! I most likely will not use the sweetened condensed milk as this ole timer doesn't need the extra calories. But I do need to have yogurt for health reasons and want to try making it your way. Thank you my dear so much for this video. Many hugs... Claudia

BEST Instant Pot Yogurt recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made this and it was amazing! It made so much so I shared it with some of my co-workers and they loved it too. Thank you for all your videos! I've made several of your recipes and they've all turned out great!

Omg .. I made this last night and it’s truly super easy and delicious... thank you so much for this recipe!!!! 5 stars !!!!!!!

This is delicious! I couldn’t stop saying oh my God and every bite. I put strawberries and powdered peanut butter. I saw heaven!

That is so simple on how to make the yogurt and I love that part so much.

Tried this yesterday it’s delicious thank you for sharing the recipe

Currently eating this yogurt and wooooow I love it! I honestly wanted to make it because it was so weird to think of making yogurt but now I love that I can control everything about it texture is a big thing for me and this came out like my dream yogurt! Next time I think I’ll strain it to make it a little thicker just to experiment

I don't like yogurt but, I thought I would make it for my family. I taisted it while I was putting in containers and this is the best yogurt I ever taisted. I make it frequently and live it. Thankyou! I also give my friends small containers, they asked me if they would be able to make this recipe in a slow cooker. What do you think?

Can you put your magic to work and do a non-dairy yogurt (almond maybe)? I researched many, some in the IP, but non turn out so well. We enjoy your channel, keep making it all look as my kids say, yummy!!! Thank you

This was so easy to do and taste delicious, will definitely be doing this again.

I’ve been making this cold start yogurt for a while and love it. (If you have a 3 quart IP it is the perfect size.) I prefer a thick Greek yogurt so after it is cooled in the fridge I drain out a lot of the whey. You can use cheesecloth in a sieve over a bowl or there are other gadgets on Amazon to use for draining.

Thanks. I will be trying this as soon as getting to the store in the morning to get the stuff to make it. I just bought my instant for yogurt and cheesecake. Have a super day and be safe doing it.

I add Nielsen Massey vanilla with the milk and plain yogurt. I put the yogurt When done in yogurt containers. Put lemon curd or lime curd on top When serving. Decadent yogurt. Oh my is this good. I give as gifts like this.

We have been making yogurt in the crockpot for years and just started using the instant pot a few months ago with very good results. I’m definitely going to try this method! Thanks for another great video.

I'd love to see an update on this recipe as my new Instant Pot Pro has a yogurt button but only Low or High (boil) settings. I've done everything and set it on low rather than high (boil) so I hope I've done it right! Also, would have loved if the "live culture" would have been mentioned in your verbal directions - I hope I have the correct yogurt type! Love your recipes so far! Just 7 hours to see if I've done the right things!

I've made this twice so far. The first time I tried it without the condensed milk. The consistency was great but just a little too bitter even when added to a smoothie. The second time I added the condensed milk and 1 tbls vanilla and it is delicious. I also strained it the second time because I always hate when yogurt separates. I may try half a can of condensed milk next time but not sure since it is so good. Thanks!!

Thanks for this yogurt recipe. I made it yesterday and I must admit, I was very skeptical because I am SUPER picky about the consistency and taste of yogurt. OMG! I cannot believe how delicious it is AND it has a great taste, almost like a hint of vanilla flavor. I ate some this morning with blueberries and a a granola bar broken up on top. This is absolutely the best tasting yogurt...ever.

This is great! Thank you, as always, for a simple recipe, great editing, and a tasty finished product. Keep up the good work!

I've been making yogurt this way. Though I only made with sweeten condensed milk just once. Once mixture is combined I put it into pint and half canning jars with lids. Into the IP for 12 hours. Perfect Greek yogurt 😋. Two ice cream scoops and chocolate syrup it's like a dish of ice cream without the guilt.

Kristen, Thank you Thank you Thank you! I made this easy peasy yogut for the first time yesterday & enjoyed my first serving for breakfast this morning. I'm not a huge yogurt person but I am now! It's so good even without any added fruits. Can't wait till strawberry season. Another IP triumph👍 Now I'm off to make my favorite granola to adorn my new afternoon snack... IP yogurt😛👏🥳💖 More thanks, Diane

So excited to see this, just what I've been looking for!!

I make this with grass fed organic regular milk (not Fairlife) and it works great too!

I have made this several times and I love it!

I absolutely love yogurt! Great video - I have been loving my instant pot also and yogurt is the BEST in it! I ferment mine for 24 hours so it's extra tangy and virtually lactose free - I am curious about the condensed milk - sounds very interesting! Love your channel 💙

I tried your recipe with exactly the same ingredients. The yogurt turned out sort of the consistency of thick Elmer’s glue. Weird. It tasted good but the consistency was very much like the sweetened condensed milk. I was disappointed. PART 2. I’ve been searching other channels for more info on no book yogurts. Someone mentioned the yogurt starter needed to be fresh in order to avoid stringy (which I had made 🙁). So I got a new carton of plain yogurt, more triple filtered milk and tried it again according to your directions. Yea! It worked. Perfect yogurt. I have a different instant pot - Duo Evo Plus. I looked up the manual as the buttons are different. So your recipe is perfect. Thank you!!

Thank you and Thank you for this video!! I just took my 1st batch out of the fridge and it is perfect! My 3yo isn't a milk drinker, but eats tons of yogurt and prefers drinking it out of pouches. I stopped buying the Sonyfield Organic store bought yogurt pouches because they're really expensive and they have too much sugar. So, I've been buying a pint of vanilla and plain and mixing it (for flavor, but less sugar) and filling my own reusable yogurt pouches. This recipe is a life saver for me! Much cheaper, and makes about the same amount I was buying every week. Also LO loves it and didn't notice the change.

Tried this last night and woke to delish yogurt. I used a different brand of ultrapasturized milk and it worked fine but does not give you as thick a yogurt. I am straining it now in the fridge so it will get plenty thick! Used the whole can of condensed milk but will reduce it next time, too sweet for me. Will be fun to start experimenting now! Thanks 😊

Does the Instant pot have to have the yogurt button to make yogurt? While watching this video (and being soooo excited ) about making my own yogurt I noticed my instant pot has no yogurt setting....I hope so because otherwise the store will be getting it back. I got this as a birthday present this year from my husband and I'm hoping I can make yogurt w/o the setting so I dont have to return his gift, lol. He takes alot of time picking gifts, luckily he only has 3 a year. 1-bday, 2-anniversary,3-Xmas...I just recently ran across this channel quite by accident and I love the attention to detail and it's THE MOST FUN i've ever had finding a recipe. THANK YOU!!!

This is my kind of recipe, thank you, Kristen! I just bought an Instant Pot just because of the yogurt button and the stainless steel pot. ☺ Whoot, whoot!

AMAZING!!! I'm new to instant pot and this was the first thing I tried since it looked so easy and I love yogurt.

I made this today. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!

Just mixed my first batch together to cook over night, will be excited when I get home from work tomorrow and its all chilled! Fingers crossed it turns out okay!

This is the best yogurt ever! I like to strain mine after it has sat in the refrigerator overnight and let the whey drip out. It is so smooth and creamy and delicious! I always use your recipe but sometimes I add some key lime juice because I also love key lime yogurt!!!

I am hooked on this yogurt. Have been making it since I found this video. Mine lasts me about two weeks before having to make another batch. Love it

Omg thank you!! The other way is complicated I need easy

Thank you so much. I’m making yogurt for the first time today. This is actually the second time ever using my instant pot.

Great Recipe For Cold Start Yogurt, Kristen! Thanks... Have A Great Spring!

I love your yogurt recipe. I eat a lot yogurt during the week. I love your yogurt so much better than store bought.

Excellent. I have to be honest. I do not have an instant pot. But, I have had pressure cookers for a very long time. I only make pulled pork and chicken in my pc so I absolutely love that you are doing these pc recipes and slow cooker recipes. My pc had a sc button on it so I love both kinds of recipes.

Thank you so much for this video I’ve made it for the 1st time and I’ll deffently be making it this again thank you so much

I am trying this for the first time today! I just put everything in, wish me luck 🍀!!!

I absolutely LOVE this yogurt!!!!! THANK YOU for this video!

I have not wanted a instant pot until watching your videos. Just bought one last week. I going to try this for my husband. I need a lactose free for me, so any ideas? Or just substitute the yogurt for dairy free yogurt?

Hi, Has anyone tried evaporated milk instead of the condensed? Trying to cut out sugars but thought the evaporated would add some richness. Ordering an instant pot with the yogurt setting to replace an old crock and making yogurt is on the top of my list! I'll eventually test out the evaporated if no one has tried it. Glad I found this channel. Wonderful!

Thank you so much 😊! Can you use plant-based milks, like hempseed or almond milks? 😋

Fabulous idea to put condensed milk! I have been making mine in crockpot and adding vanilla and powdered sugar. Why is it important to use the filtered milk?

Kristin, I bit the bullet lol bought the fair life milk. It’s just slightly less than a half gallon. Bought each item exactly, followed your instructions exactly as well. Observations: at the end of 8 hrs yogurt was still very soft? Why? Added 2.5 more hours, yogurt was more firm but not as firm as yours. Nor was it as white. After overnight in the fridge it’s firmer but won’t hold a spoon up. Any thoughts as to what happened.

Absolutely love this yogurt! I have Power Quick pot. Have to add yogurt starter when pot beeps after cool down. If added at first it kills the bacteria. Still turns out AWESOME

It is very good! Question: Has anyone tried using the Instant Pot yogurt to make a new batch? Will it work or do I need to keep buying the store bought to get it started?

Thanks for making this so simple and short. Sometimes I just need a quick go-to recipe and I don't have time to weed through the friendly chatter.

Just made this, and it turned out perfect! I used a suggestion another commenter made and added 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract. My particular IP didn't say "YGRT" at the end, it just said "END", but it was done. Also, I added an additional hour, so 9 hours instead of 8. 😊

My ip should arrive tomorrow and this will be the first thing I make. I can’t wait. Thank you.

I'm a new InstantPot cook. I made this recipe and it came out awesome.

I’m going to make yogurt in my Instant Pot duo Tomorrow morning (1/17/21) for the first time. 2 ingredients are Organic hyper pasteurized whole milk and some yogurt culture I bought from a health food store. I haven’t seen anyone on KZfaq using this combination. Then going to drain some whey using a colander and paper towels.

My instant pot is currently on 4 hours and 30 minutes of yogurt making and it smells so good. It’s starting to solidify. I followed your exact recipe (except I used plain whole Greek yogurt as the culture) but in the future can we use milk from like Walmart and target? I can get a gallon of whole milk from target for .99 but I don’t think it’s ultra filter.

I cant do the condensed milk either. But u could make it suger free if u really want to. But theres so many other good ways to eat it as well.this is one suggestion for the peeps who have to do suger free .try the suger free French vanilla creamer ,and fruit or creamer yougert and oatmeal I make fage Greek I luv how it comes out to .u can go sweet or savory. It's a great sub for sour cream. Delicious as a frozen fruit smoothie too .got some in popsicle molds in freezer now pinapple banna .there yummy .

Hi. We just got an IP last week. My wife loves yogurt and when I saw "make your own yogurt" I thought I'd make some for my wife. I'm a little confused. You buy yogurt to make yogurt?

Just made a batch yesterday, the taste is great, smooth, creamy and thought how would the be frozen so I put a small amount into a container and later today I will find out, but thank for the recipe.

Wow! So impressed with this recipe, so nice and thick, love it! Going to add some apples & cinnamon, or canned crushed pineapple or peaches!

Awesome! I use yogurt in my kid's smoothies. Can't wait to try this recioe.

In October '19, I made yogurt the boil way, looked up many videos and blogs. It came out runny, straw drinking type (apparently what Japan enjoys according to my daughter). I also strained part of it and it was firm, like Greek yogurt. Now, I'm a 'sweets' lover, only purchased the flavored yogurts with all the high numbers on the side, so I was kinda disappointed vanilla did not make it sweet (according to one recipe). I became frustrated and dumped/threw out the rest of my yogurt. So, on Nov 30, I decided to try this recipe using half & half as the sweet. It was SO much easier to make, I wasn't frustrated or anxious over the 'cooling down' period of making, and it came out firm enough I did not have to strain. I had some with granola, and today with Fruity Pebbles (sweets!). I'm still not excited about the lack of 'sweet', over time I'll get used to the taste. Thank you for this easy process. I'll try the condensed milk next time. Already saved aside my tablespoons for the next batch.

Looks easy and delicious. Getting the exact ingredients and will be making this. Thanks for keeping things simple.

This is so easy and so good.

I just stumbled onto your channel and I have to say I love your videos. I made the yogurt and it turned out great, so thanks for that! Please keep the instant pot videos coming. 🙂

I just think it’s funny to use yogurt to make yogurt. 😂 I think I will try it, though! It looks so good with blueberries and granola 😍 thanks for the recipe

Is there a way of setting up what temperature exactly you will be making the yogurt at when you set the timer for 8 or 12 hours ? I mean, how do I know the temperature of the milk during all those hours ?

Great video!! I've made this once, and it really is the easiest way to make it, and tastes so good!!! I've read that u can also make it in jars, so u can take it on the go. Does anyone have any good suggestions on types of jars to use? Glass should be ok, as the pot isn't going to be coming up to pressure. Keep up the great work!!!!

Question for you: I have been making yogurt using your method (or very similar) for quite a while and mine does not turn out as thick as yours looks here, but I strain it so it becomes thicker and "Greek" yogurt and it's just great, I love it. Well, I just made some that did not thicken up at all! I used a gallon of 2% milk and about a cup of plain yogurt. It smells and tastes like yogurt but it did not actually "become" yogurt. I started to strain it through cheesecloth and a large colander like I always do, but it was just going to mostly run right through it, so I poured it back into the instant pot and decided to try again. I pushed the yogurt setting and waited another 8 hours .... result - exactly the same! Not knowing if I was changing the overall make-up or protein structure, but thinking I've got nothing to lose, I tried a 3rd time and back in the pot it went for ANOTHER 8 hours. When done, it had been in the "incubation" pot for a total of 24 hours! Alas, no change and still didn't look like the yogurt I normally achieve. SO.... because I have recently learned how to make ricotta cheese from milk and/or cream, I decided to see if I could turn this failed batch into ricotta cheese. I put it in a regular large stovetop pot, heated it to 200 as ricotta instructions say, removed from heat, added the proper amount of lemon juice and salt, gently stirred, waited, and still no separation of curds and whey happened as it should. It basically looks like heavy cream. So now I am like .... Huh! What is going on and what did I do wrong? Could it be the milk? I googled and learned that if my milk was UHT pasteurized it probably won't work. The milk I used came from Costco - it's Kirkland Signature 2% pasteurized milk. It does not say UHT but I figure they probably don't have to state if they are using that process. Could that be why it didn't work? And of course, now I am wondering what can I do with this creamy sour tasting milk? It doesn't taste bad but it's not yogurt, not ricotta and not even sour cream! Can I somehow turn it into sour cream or is there anything you would suggest besides dumping it? Thanks for any advice and sorry this got so long! :)
