Why in the world do you make homemade yogurt in an Instant Pot? Because it tastes extra- fresh, creamy, and smooth. And it earns you major bragging rights (even though it's insanely easy). You need to use the "Yogurt" setting to boil milk. This takes about 35 minutes and is essential for thickening the yogurt. You can use any kind of dairy milk (including skim), but we strongly prefer whole milk for taste. If you want to make yours SUPER creamy and decadent, you can sub in some heavy cream.

Ingredients

Topping

Nuts
Fruits, as your choice

2 tbsp. Whole milk Greek yogurt
2 quarts Whole milk

Method

01

Pour milk into a 6-quart Instant Pot and lock lid. Press the Yogurt setting until it reads “boil”. This cycle will take about 35 minutes.
02

Follow manufacturer’s guide for quick release, making sure to wait until cycle is complete before unlocking and removing lid. Check that the milk temperature is at least 180℉. If less than 180℉, repeat the boil cycle. If 180℉ or higher, remove inner pot and cool milk in an ice bath to between 110℉ and 115℉, checking frequently with an instant read thermometer, 4 to 5 minutes.
03

Once milk is 110℉ to 115℉, place Greek yogurt in a medium bowl, then remove about a cup of milk and whisk into yogurt. Whisk yogurt mixture back into Instant Pot until fully incorporated, then lock lid and press the Yogurt setting to Normal for 8 to 12 hours. 12 hours will make a thicker yogurt.
04

Remove lid and transfer the yogurt to clean containers. Chill until completely set.
05

Serve with fruits and nuts.
