Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk Longevity brand recommended
  • 1 cup warm water not boiling!
  • 1 ½ cup milk (use Non-fat for thicker yogurt)
  • 1 ½ cup half and half milk
  • ½ cup plain whole milk yogurt reduced or nonfat works

Instructions
 

  • Add warm water and condensed milk to large mixing bowl. Whisk until condensed milk is melted and mixed through.
  • Add milk, half and half and yogurt. Whisk all ingredients together, making sure to break up all clumps.
  • Pour yogurt mixture jars, cover with a lid.
  • For the instant pot ( use 6-8 quart pot) add 1 cup water to the pot, add the jars to the pot and set it on yogurt setting for at least 12 hours (overnight).
  • If using yogurt maker, add jars to the yogurt maker and set it for at least 10-12 hours.
  • Once yogurt is done incubating, tighten the lids and place jars into the fridge until it sets, about 4-6 hours. The yogurt will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

*Nutritional facts provided are estimates and may not be entirely accurate.
  • Start with clean yogurt jars – Always sterilize your jars before filling them by pouring boiling water over them or running the jars through a hot dishwasher cycle.
  • Low sugar option– For a lower sugar version, use half the amount of condensed milk. The texture will still set properly.
  • How to get more tangy yogurt 
    • Allow for longer incubation (13-14 hours) produces tangier yogurt and reduces lactose content. 
    • Decrease the condensed milk - Lower the sugar amount by adding ½ or ¾ of the condensed milk can to get a more tangy and less sweet flavor.
