1 tbsp plain or vanilla yogurt with active cultures
Instructions
Pour one cup of water in the Instant Pot and insert the steam rack. On the rack place tools that need to be sterilized: a 1-cup glass measure containing a 1 tbsp measure and a heatproof silicone spatula.
Using the display panel select the STEAM function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes.
When the time is up, quick-release the pressure. Allow to cool, then remove the tools without touching the inside of the pot or any other surface that will touch food. Drain the pot without touching the inside of the pot.
Using the sterilized tbsp measure, add 1 tbsp of the active-culture yogurt to the sterilized glass measure. Add 2/3 cup of the milk to the glass measure and use the sterilized spatula to stir until smooth.
Add the remainder of the milk and the yogurt mixture to the pot and use the sterilized spatula to stir until all yogurt is incorporated, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
Choose the YOGURT function and adjust to the NORMAL or MEDIUM setting. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 8 hours.
At the end of the 8 hours, cover the inner pot with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Do not stir at this point.
At the end of the refrigeration time you will have a pourable chocolate yogurt that pairs wonderfully with fresh berries and granola for a delicious breakfast treat.
To make yogurt pops, pour yogurt mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 8 hours. Unmold and enjoy.
