Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Full-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Plain low carb yogurt with live cultures
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Low carb sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Pour the full-fat milk into a medium-sized pot and place it over medium heat.
Heat the milk until it reaches between 180°F and 200°F, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't scorch. Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to around 110°F. This cooling process may take 30 to 40 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the cooled milk with the 2 tablespoons of plain low carb yogurt until smooth.
Add the yogurt mixture back into the pot with the rest of the cooled milk, stirring gently to evenly distribute the live cultures.
If using vanilla extract and sweetener, add them at this point and mix well.
Transfer the mixture into a clean glass or ceramic container that can be covered with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place the container in a warm environment, for example, in an oven with the light on or a yogurt maker, maintaining a temperature around 110°F.
Let the yogurt ferment for 8 to 12 hours, depending on your preferred tartness. The longer it ferments, the tangier it will be.
After fermentation, move the container to the refrigerator to cool for at least 4 hours to thicken and develop flavor.
Before serving, you may stir the yogurt to a smooth consistency. Serve it plain or with your choice of low carb toppings such as nuts, seeds, or berries.
