Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time1 day
Servings: 12

Equipment

  • Instant Pot or any multi-cooker
  • Strainer - if you prefer very thick Greek yogurt
  • Thermometer - optional but necessary if your Instant Pot does not have a Yogurt setting.

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon (3.785 litres) of whole milk or 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup of full fat plain yogurt or 1 packet of starter culture

Instructions

  • Pour the milk into the Instant Pot, close the lid and press the Yogurt button until it says BOIL.
  • Take the lid off and cover the boiled milk with a tea towel. Allow it to cool to at least 115°F.
  • Add the yogurt or starter culture to the milk and mix well. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to 8 - 24 hours using the Yogurt button.
  • Transfer your Greek yogurt to a large mason jar or glass container to refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
  • Optional - If you prefer extra thick yogurt, strain it over a bowl and collect the whey.
