Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 17 hours 30 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 1.5 qt Slow Cooker If you make a bigger batch use a bigger slow cooker
  • 1 Fine Sieve

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Cup Yogurt Make sure the only ingredients are milk and active cultures
  • 4 Cup Whole Milk

Instructions
 

  • Pour 1 quart (4 cups) of milk into your slow cooker. Cook on low for 3 hours. The milk needs to reach a temperature of 185 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Let the slow cooker with the milk cool for 2.5 hours so that it reaches a temperature of about 110-112 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add in your 1/2 cup of starter yogurt and stir well.
  • Use a towel to wrap up your slow cooker and let it sit at room temperature (around 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit is best) overnight. Yogurt needs to incubate at 105-117 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-7 hours.
  • If you'd like to further thicken your yogurt, strain your finished yogurt through a very fine sieve to separate the yogurt from the whey.
  • Put your finished yogurt in the fridge and enjoy!
