Description
Make your own homemade cultured Instant Pot soy yogurt the healthy, easy, budget-friendly way with only two ingredients: plain soy yogurt starter and soymilk. You can be picky about the ingredients and create a delicious, nutritious vegan yogurt for your everyday meals and as an ingredient in your favorite recipes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cultured soy yogurt, plain, unsweetened (i.e., Silk Plain Soy Yogurt) OR 1 packet non-dairy yogurt starter (see instructions below)
- 1 quart soymilk, fortified, plain, unsweetened (see notes below)
Instructions
- Place plain, unsweetened cultured soy yogurt in the container of an Instant Pot. (See below for instructions if you are using a yogurt starter packet.)
- Add 1 quart of plain, unsweetened fortified soymilk to the container.
- Stir well.
- Cover with the lid of the Instant Pot, fasten it well, and press the Yogurt setting (about 8 hours of low temperature cooking designed for culturing yogurt).
- When Instant Pot cycle is complete, open lid, and transfer yogurt to an airtight 1- quart container, reserving ½ cup in a separate airtight container for making a future batch of cultured soy yogurt.
- Place in the refrigerator for up to 10-14 days. Plan on making your next batch of soy yogurt using the reserved cultured soy yogurt within 10 days.
- Makes 1 quart (four 1-cup servings) of plain, unsweetened, fortified cultured soy yogurt.
- Use soy yogurt in dressings, soups, smoothies, marinades, cereals, fruit parfaits, baked goods, or dips.
Notes
If you can’t find cultured plain soy yogurt, use a non-dairy yogurt starter to make your first batch, following package instructions. Many starter products utilize packets (about 1 packet per quart of soymilk) and you can make your first batch in your Instant Pot on the yogurt setting. Reserve ½ cup from the first batch to use in subsequent batches of soy yogurt using this recipe.
This cultured soy yogurt makes a thinner consistency.
Choose fortified soymilk with vitamin D and calcium for a nutrient-rich soy yogurt. The nutritional content of the soy yogurt will vary based on the soymilk you use.
