Ingredients

  • ½ gallon whole or reduced-fat (2%) milk

Press "Adjust" button to "More" mode; the word "boil" will appear on the display. The cooker will take about 25 minutes to heat the milk to 180°F. When cycle is complete, cooker will beep and display "yogt." Open lid. Use a quick-read thermometer to make sure the milk registers 180°F.

In a small bowl whisk together 1 cup of the cooled milk and the Greek yogurt until smooth. While whisking constantly, slowly pour milk-yogurt mixture into remaining cooled milk in cooker insert.
