Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon almond milk unsweetened and unflavored*
  • 3 tablespoons plain almond yogurt with live active cultures
  • 4 tablespoons arrowroot flour
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin

Instructions
 

  • Clean and sanitize your Instant Pot.
  • Add the almond milk to the Instant Pot and close the lid. You can use your normal lid or a glass lid.
  • Press the yogurt button and wait until it shows "BOIL." This will take about 45 minutes. Check the temperature of the almond milk with a candy thermometer. It should read 180 degrees. If it does not, change the Instant Pot to "Saute" and stir the milk constantly until the temperature reaches 180 degrees.
  • Add in the gelatin and arrowroot and mix well.
  • Remove the inner pot from the Instant Pot and let it cool to just 115 degrees in cold water or an ice bath. This will take about 15-20 minutes. You can also cool on the counter, but it will take about an hour.
  • Skim the skin off the milk and discard. Take a few tablespoons of your milk from your Instant Pot and add it to the already-made yogurt. Whisk together then add to the Instant Pot and mix it well.
  • Dry off the outside of the inner pot and place it back into the Instant Pot. Press the "Yogurt" function. Change the time to 12 hours.**
  • Once the yogurt is done, remove the inner pot, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours. It will thicken as it cools.
  • Remove the yogurt from the fridge and store for up to 5 days -- saving about 1/4 cup to make your next yogurt.

Notes

*Using homemade almond milk will result in a thicker creamier yogurt. You can still use store-bought almond milk (I prefer stable shelf), but it will result in a slighly runnier texture on the first batch
**12 hours will make a thinner yogurt, but you can choose up to 16 hours for a thicker yogurt.
