Making Yogurt at home is super easy when you are making crock pot yogurt. This Homemade yogurt recipe is super easy and anyone can make it with a crock pot.
1/2cupyogurt(It has to have live cultures in it. Just check the label. It will not work unless you have the live cultures.)
1unflavored gelatin
1bath towel
a crockpot(I used a 6 quart)
Instructions
Place the entire 1/2 gallon of milk into the crockpot. Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.
Unplug your crockpot. Leave the cover on, and let it sit for 3 hours. You don't have to do anything. Just let it sit unplugged.
When 3 hours have passed, take 2 cups of the warmish milk from the crockpot and put it in a bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup of store-bought live/active culture yogurt. Then dump the bowl contents back into the crockpot. Stir to combine. (you can also add in the gelatin at this time)
Put the lid back on your crockpot. Keep it unplugged, and wrap a heavy bath towel all the way around the crock for insulation.
Let it sit for 8 hours with the towel around it.
Let chill in the plastic containers and add flavorings. That is it!
**The gelatin will help thicken the yogurt. Homemade yogurt is not as thick as the store bought, so the gelatin will give it the store bought appearance.
Notes
Making yogurt at home is really easy and very frugal friendly! I can't wait to hear what you think about this recipe.
