Yogurt

I've been super busy with family obligations of late - and haven't had time to blog.
I promised a few customers a quick yogurt tutorial - so here it is.

Yogurt is so very good for you. It's full of good nutrients, lots of gorgeous beneficial bacteria (sometimes we even add probiotic tablets to the milk) and it tastes delicious! 


The basic steps are heat milk to 90° and add (optional) gelatin
Cool milk below 40°
Add starter and mix - put in Thermoserver for 8 hours!

It really is that easy to have perfect yogurt. Every. Single. Time.

Here is a pictorial of our latest raspberry vanilla yogurt.

Enjoy

edit - I have had a couple of customers have this recipe fail.  I use a very creamy non homogenised milk with a high fat content.  If you use regular store bought milk consider adding 300ml cream to your yogurt.  With 2 tbsp gelatin it will be creamy and set beautifully.  

Milk and a Thermomix, not much more required to make yogurt
Pour  1.5 litres milk into Thermomix
Add 2 tablespoons gelatin - 20.00 mins, 90°c  speed 4
Allow milk to cool to 40°c (this should take around 1 hour)
 then add 100-200grams of starter yogurt withheld from previous batch then mix 15 sec speed 7
Pour into Thermoserver
8 hours later, thick, creamy yogurt
Whisk yogurt to mix whey and cream (if using unhomogenized milk)
Add vanilla (or any other flavouring)
Put Raspberries and Rice malt syrup in Thermomix
Cook for 10 mins at 110° speed 2
Raspberry Syrup for mixing through yogurt
Pour yogurt into glass jars, and swirl raspberry syrup through yogurt.
