Make Easy Extra Protein Thick Yogurt in a 4 Qt Rio Mini Instant Pot

Today we’re talking yogurt. A few years ago, I started making yogurt. Actually, way back in our twenties, my husband and I used to make it in little glass cups with a little machine, and it made lovely yogurt! The yogurt I make now is the longer fermentation type, and I’ve done it in various machines.

I include clips of how I make this yogurt in the 4 quart Instant Pot Rio Mini in the video. I also include some photos of past ways in which I’ve made yogurt. The first one I tried was in the cooler where you wrap it in a towel. That was fun. It worked! Then I bought a small yogurt maker. I used that for quite a while. Then I tried the sous vide method in a pot with a cover and water bath.

The most recent is using the 4 quart Instant Pot Rio Mini, where I can make up to 2.5 litres. Set it up, leave it alone, and it works beautifully. Also recently, I’ve started adding high protein milk to the mix. Ninety percent of the time I’ve been doing just whole milk in the last couple of years. Before that, I tried the whole half-and-half thing and just found it too heavy.

I mainly make 30 to 36-hour yogurt. That’s why I add the inulin, the prebiotics, but it’s really up to you how long you ferment your yogurt for. This batch is with 6% milk and whole high-protein milk. That combination gets a very nice thick yogurt. But again, not required. You could just make it all out of whole milk.

Stay tuned and we’ll go through various stages. There are certain things I want to remember to mention, and we’ll talk about those as we go.
