Ingredients

  • ½ gallon whole milk
  • 2 tbsp. whole milk greek yogurt

Instructions

  • Begin by making sure the inner pot is thoroughly clean.
  • Add milk to the pot and press the yogurt button. You may have to turn the dial from to ensure it says "yogurt" and not "hi."
  • Place the pressure cooker lid on top and secure, but make sure that it is in the venting position.
  • Press "start." The device should say yogurt and a time of 8 hours.
  • The first step the Ninja Foodi goes through is the boiling step. When complete, the machine will beep and say "boil." It can take about an hour for the milk to boil, depending on the amount of liquid.
  • The machine will then switch to the "cool" function. It can take anywhere from an hour to several hours for it to cool. Once the milk has cooled and is the correct temperature, the machine will beep again. The screen will read "add and stir." This means it is time to add in the yogurt with active cultures.
  • Open the lid and add the yogurt and whisk.
  • Place the lid back on (make sure the pressure release valve is still in the venting position) and press the start button again.
  • The screen should now say "incubate" and 8:00 hours time. Allow the yogurt to ferment in the Ninja Foodi for the full time. It will beep again when it is finished.
  • Remove the lid and check that the yogurt is firm. Place in the fridge to cool for at least 2 hours, but ideally longer.
