Homemade Thick Creamy Yogurt image

Pure yogurt is quite soft and watery. This recipe adds gelatine and cornstarch like most store-bought brands. The result is a velvety smooth, thick creamy yogurt.

Time 6h25m

Yield 8 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 cups skim milk or 8 cups 1% low-fat milk
1 (84 g) envelope unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup plain yogurt, containing active yogurt culture (from a newly opened container)

Steps:

  • Have ready a sterilized whisk, spoon and candy thermometer.
  • Put milk into a heavy bottomed pot or microwavable dish.
  • Sprinkle gelatine crystals over cold milk, stir and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Add cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
  • If using a pot, scald the milk over medium or medium-high heat, whisking often to prevent burning.
  • If using a microwave, heat milk on high and whisk every few minutes until milk reaches a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius or 203 Fahrenheit.
  • Remove from heat and let cool to 52 degrees Celsius or 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a sterilized spoon to add the yogurt from a newly opened container and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour into sterilized containers with lids and incubate 4 to 6 hours. I do this by warming a comforter or sleeping bag in the dryer then using it to wrap the yogurt containers. Be creative.
  • Refrigerate when set.
  • Stir before using to mix in the separated whey.
  • To flavour the yogurt, just add fruit, sweetener, jam, spices, flavoured extract, concentrated juice, or whatever you prefer.
  • Keeps up to 3 weeks. Remember to use some of the last batch to make a new batch.
