Chill vibes meet creamy delight! Learn to craft Pressure Cooker Cold Start Vanilla Yogurt – your go-to for a refreshing taste of homemade goodness. I wanted to make vanilla yogurt but wasn’t sure if I could do it using the cold-start method. I decided to give it a try, and it worked beautifully!

For this type of yogurt, you’ll need to use Ultra-filtered milk. Our family loves Fairlife, especially because being ultra-filtered, it is lactose free for those in our family who like milk but are lactose intolerant. You will also need to use a yogurt that has active bacteria cultures, as we are not cooking this at all (that’s why it is called cold start).

Why bother making yogurt?

Is it worth it? Absolutely, yes! I figured out the cost in my area, and I can get TWICE the amount of yogurt for the price of one large container. That right there makes it worth it for our family. Plus, it is so easy and fresh, you can also freeze it in small quantities for smoothies, just be sure to save two tablespoons for your next batch, and then you will save even more money!

I used my I used my Deluxe Multi Cooker  for this recipe:

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

Pressure Cooker Cold Start Yogurt – Amy + Jacky (Video)

Thick, creamy and delicious, this easy yogurt from Amy + Jacky is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make!! They are an adorable and very talented couple, you can learn more about them here. This is the first recipe of theirs I have tried, and also the very first yogurt I have EVER made. Their instructions were spot on, which is helpful when you don’t know what you’re doing! I have made it several times, and it is simply wonderful.

For this type of yogurt, you’ll need to use Ultra-filtered milk. Our family loves Fairlife, especially because being ultra-filtered, it is lactose free for those in our family who like milk, but are lactose intolerant. You will also need to use a yogurt that has active bacteria cultures, as we are not cooking this at all (that’s why it is called cold start).

Is it worth it? Absolutely, yes! I figure out the cost in my area, and I can get TWICE the amount of yogurt for the price of one large container. That right there makes it worth it for our family. Plus, it is so easy and fresh, you can also freeze it in small quantities for smoothies, just be sure to save two tablespoons for your next batch, and then you will save even more money!

I am using my Deluxe Multi-cooker, as it is a pressure cooker, as well as a sous vide and slow cooker. Since I have found the whole milk to be the thickest and creamiest, that is what I am using today. You can certainly select a lower fat, but please be aware that it may change the consistency of your yogurt. Depending on how tangy you like the yogurt, you can set it between 8-10 hours. We set ours for 9 hours, and it was perfect. Okay, let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons yogurt with active bacterial cultures
  • One 52-ounce container Fairlife or other ultra-filtered milk

Instructions

Ensure that the pressure cooker’s inner pot is absolutely clean.  Add 2 cups of the milk to the inner pot.  Add the yogurt, whisk very well until incorporated.  Pour in the rest of the milk, and whisk again.

Cover and select YOGURT on Med. Set the timer to 8 hours or up to 12 hours for tangier yogurt; press and hold START.

Once the timer is up, press CANCEL. Remove inner pot, cover with foil, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.  Remove to separate containers; you can also freeze in small batches, and be sure to save two tablespoons of this yogurt so that you have the starter to make your next batch. 

Serve as is, or with berries and granola.

That’s it!  The best, creamiest yogurt, and so easy to make!  Please be sure to go and visit Amy + Jacky, and tell them I said hello!
