Instant Pot Coconut Milk Yogurt

Step 1

To heat the coconut milk up, hit the Yogurt function on your Instant Pot. Hit yogurt again until it reads boil.

Step 2

Pour in the coconut milk and gelatin or agar agar and whisk well to incorporate. Use a digital thermometer to watch the temperature of the yogurt. You want it to reach 110-115 degrees. This only takes a few minutes. Once that temperature has been reached, turn the Instant Pot OFF.

Step 3

Strain the coconut milk mixture over a mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth.

Step 4

Whisk in the powdered starter (or 1 tablespoon of plain coconut milk yogurt) until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the yogurt mixture back into the inner pot to incubate. Alternatively, you can pour your yogurt mixture into a heat-safe glass jar(s) and place it on the trivet of the Instant Pot. Just be sure to add 1 cup of warm water to the inner pot as well.

Step 6

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and then set the incubation time. To set the incubation time, hit yogurt function and then adjust function until the time reads 24:00 (be sure pressure is at normal and not low--if at low hit yogurt again.) You can then use your +/- buttons to adjust the time if you desire a different amount of time for incubation.

Step 7

Once the yogurt has been incubated, remove from the Instant Pot and place the inner pot or jar of yogurt, undisturbed into the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

Step 8

After the 8 hours, whisk the yogurt to incorporate the fat solids and liquids together and serve as desired. At this point, you can add in sweetener or your choice.
