Step preview

  1. Pour the coconut milk and maple syrup into the pot of the Instant Pot
  2. Whisk well
  3. Press the “Yogurt” button, and then adjust the setting until you see “boil” - let the Instant Pot run through the process
  4. No need to place the lid on the Instant Pot during this stage
  5. When the Instant Pot beeps that it is finished, allow the milk to cool until it is between 100º and 110º
  6. If using starter yogurt: When the milk is at the correct temperature, ladle out about 1/2 cup of the warm milk into a small bowl
  7. Whisk with the plain starter yogurt until smooth
  8. Pour the mixture back into the Instant Pot and whisk well
  9. If using freeze-dried yogurt culture: when the milk is at the correct temperature, sprinkle on one packet of the starter culture and then whisk very well to combine
  10. If using a thickener, sprinkle on top of the warm milk, and then whisk very well to combine
  11. Press the “Yogurt” button and adjust the setting until you see the time display, set for the desired amount of fermentation time - eight hours is bare minimum, but for tastier yogurt ferment for closer to 24-36 hours
  12. This results in a naturally thick and tangy yogurt — very like regular Greek yogurt
  13. When the fermenting time is up, transfer the yogurt to a glass storage container and keep in the fridge
  14. It will thicken up considerably as it cools
