Ingredients

Yogurt:

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons active yogurt (or packaged starter)

To Flavor Before Serving:

  • 1 dash vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon Truvia per cup of yogurt

Instructions

  • Heat milk and cream to 180 degrees over double boiler over low heat.  Skin will form, leave it alone for now.  This may take up to 45 minutes.
  • Remove milk and cream from heat and allow to cool to 90-110 degrees.  Remove skin when it forms.
  • Remove 1/2 cup of the cooled milk and mix in your yogurt starter.  Then add the starter mixture to the rest of the milk.
  • Pour into yogurt maker and set timer for 8 hours. To check if yogurt is done, put a spoon in the container.  If it stands up, it is ready.
  • Pour yogurt into stainer and refrigerate while it strains.  This will take 12-18 hours.  The longest it strains, the thicker it will be.
  • Store Greek yogurt in one container in the fridge or portion out into small mason jars. Before serving, sweeten to taste (1 teaspoon of Trivia per cup of yogurt is a good starting point) and add vanilla if desired.
