If you love thick, rich, creamy Greek yogurt but have yet to find a REALLY good dairy-free alternative, look no further. This method is the easiest (and most budget-friendly) way to enjoy vegan yogurt.
Ingredients
- 2 quarts soymilk plain unsweetened (see notes)
- 2 packets non-dairy yogurt starter
Instructions
- Pour cartons of soymilk into InstantPot.
- Whisk in yogurt starter.
- Press YOGURT setting.
- Use "+" button to set yogurt for 15 hours. Set sealing valve to “Release”.
- When finished, gently pour yogurt into a cheesecloth-lined colander, placed on top of an 8-cup measuring cup.
- Strain 1-2 hours or until 3-4 cups of whey have strained into the measuring cup.
- Reserve whey for other uses (see notes).
- Blend yogurt curds with an immersion blender until smooth. Recipe yields a scant quart of yogurt.
Notes
- Only purchase soy milk made with 2 ingredients: soybeans & water. EdenSoy & WestSoy are two good brands. If you'd rather have yogurt made with a milk other than soy (i.e. coconut, etc.), simply blend in 1/8 tsp amounts of xanthan gum until the finished yogurt has reached desired consistency.
- SAVE THE WHEY!
- The liquid leftover from straining soy yogurt can be used to add probiotics to your smoothies in addition to butter and cheese-making. Try this easy Vegan Goat Cheese recipe with yours!
