Instant Pot Greek Yogurt

This is magic.

Instant Pot Greek Yogurt

Half gallon (one container) Fairlife milk (see notes)

2 TBSP Fage yogurt, or another yogurt with live cultures

Directions:

1. Sanitize Instant Pot by putting in a couple cups of water, closing, turning knob to seal, and running a manual high pressure cycle for 2 minutes, with natural release.
2. Drain water from insert. Let insert cool.
3. Add milk and yogurt to Instant pot, whisk for 2 minutes to combine thoroughly.
4. Use Yogurt button, set timer to 8 hours. 
5. You can use a glass lid for the yogurt cycle (picture above) because it doesn't require the pressure feature.
6. At end of 8 hours, put into container and refrigerate.

Notes: 

You HAVE to use the Fairlife milk brand because of the ultrafiltration process they use. I haven't tried other milks, but word on the street is that they don't work.

Use whole milk. It will taste better.

You MUST use a yogurt with live cultures for this to work. I recommend Fage.

I sanitize the Instant Pot to get rid of odors and leftovers bits that might get into my yogurt and ruin it. You can also add your whisk and any other things that would come in contact with your milk during the sanitize cycle, but I haven't found this to be necessary.

I have pretty good yogurt set at 6 hours. If you want it to be more tart, let it go longer.

The yogurt doesn't need to be strained unless you really want to. I've found it thickens over time in the fridge.

There are other recipes out there that add coffee creamers and other additives, but I've found they aren't really necessary. The yogurt comes out far less tart than Fage normally tastes.  

If you want a sweeter yogurt, you can use a tiny bit of sweetened condensed milk when you serve yourself the yogurt. The sweetened condensed milk comes in squeeze jars now, so you don't have to open a whole can.
