Ingredients

4 cups milk
4 tablespoons plain yogurt

Instructions

Pour in the Yogurt Maker

In a bowl mix the milk and yogurt together until dissolved. Then pour into the glass container of the yogurt maker and set it for 10 hours.

Prepare the Strainer

Place strainer over the large bowl. Ensure there’s enough space between the strainer and the bowl to catch the whey that will drain off.

Strain the Yogurt

Let the yogurt drain in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight is preferable for a thicker texture. The longer it strains, the thicker it will become.

Check Consistency

After straining, the yogurt should be thick and creamy. If you’re satisfied with the consistency, transfer it to a clean container. If not, let it strain a bit longer.

Store the Yogurt:

Transfer the strained Greek yogurt to a clean container with a lid and refrigerate. It will keep in the fridge for about 1-2 weeks.

Notes

I use my last batch of yogurt or a plain grass-fed yogurt as a starter culture, and make sure to use fresh, high-quality yogurt for best results.
To make a parfait
- Wash and slice your fruit if necessary.
- If you’re using nuts or seeds, chop them if they’re large.
- Start with Yogurt: Spoon a layer of Greek yogurt into the bottom of a mason jar.
- Add Fruit: Place a layer of fresh fruit on top of the yogurt.
- Add Granola: Sprinkle granola over the fruit.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering yogurt, fruit, and granola until you reach the top of the glass or bowl. Aim for at least two layers to create a visually appealing parfait.
