Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
  • 9 cups water
  • 3⅓ cups SACO Mix’n Drink Instant Skim Milk
  • 1 cup brand name plain yogurt
Instructions

  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Using wire whisk, blend in Mix’n Drink powder.
  4. Put back on heat and boil for one minute.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Use a candy thermometer and cool down to no lower than 110°F.
  7. Place yogurt into large glass mixing bowl.
  8. Add warm milk, one cup at a time.
  9. Whisk until yogurt is thoroughly combined with milk.
  10. Pour in the balance of the milk.
  11. Place a piece of Saran Wrap over top of the bowl.
  12. Take bath towel and layer between the glass bowl and a regular household heating pad.
  13. Turn heating pad on high. Wrap rest of the towel around bowl to keep heat in. Leave for four hours. Yogurt should be of a gelatin consistency at this point.
  14. Cool yogurt completely, remove Saran Wrap, then refrigerate.
  15. You will probably have to drain moisture off before each use.
  16. Great to top baked potatoes, cereal, etc.
  17. TIP: Using a water bath when making this yogurt will help it set up better.
  18. To do this, instead of wrapping the bowl the yogurt is in with the towel and heating pad, simply find a pot that will easily accommodate the bowl that your yogurt is in.
  19. Place enough water in the pan to surround the bowl to its top ledge when it is set inside the pot, without leaking into the yogurt.
  20. Cover with pan’s lid and wrap pan with your towel and heating pad.
  21. Proceed as directed to leave for four hours.
