Recipe's preparation
- Weigh in milk and sugar into TM bowl - It will come up to the max fill line.
- Cook for 30 minutes/90 degrees/Speed 2.5. Place TM bowl in fridge until milk mixture is almost cool. NOTE: Transferring milk mixture to a plastic bowl will speed this process up. Usually 1-1.5 hours.
- When milk mixture is almost cool, place back into TM bowl. The 37 degree light should be OUT. If not, allow to cool for longer. If you don't allow it to cool below 37 degrees you will kill the live culture (yoghurt) when adding it and your yoghurt won't work.
- Place yoghurt into TM Bowl, warm for 10 minutes/37 degrees/Speed 2.5.
- For the best results, use unhomogenised milk that is a good quality - look out for these when they're reduced too!
To get super thick yoghurt you need to cool the milk quickly - the quicker it cools, the thicker it will be. a bowl half filled with ice then another bowl on top of that with the hot milk mix is grwat, then into the fridge.
Place milk mixture into Thermoserver immediately, with the Thermoserver base on, then wrap in a large towel**.
For best results, leave 10-12 hours in a warm place.
**I put my Thermoserver on top of my wifi modem for the night in Winter and cooler nights as it is slightly warm to the touch. DVD players/Set top boxes/Stereos/Austar boxes may also be a warm spot! In Summer I just leave on the kitchen bench with a towel draped over it.
I have also successfully used Jalna and Tamar Valley kids Greek yoghurts for starters.

Tip
I usually start this at abnout 5:30pm which means I'm putting my yoghurt 'to bed' as I go to bed! Then it's ready in the morning. OR start in the morning, it's finished by the time you get home and can cool in the fridge overnight for eating the next day.
The new 2.6L Thermoservers are perfect for this double batch but it can be carefully made in the 2.2L!
DON'T FORGET to keep 150g of the yoghurt for your next batch!
Parenting tip - your kids may be used to a LOT more sugar in their yoghurt. You may find you need to put up to 250g in to start with, then gradually wean them off a little bit each time you make a batch!
Update: I have begun making this with 80-100g honey and it's divine!
I add fruit or honey after the yoghurt has set.

Hi, can I use long life, lite lactose free milk?
I tried another recipe that needed milk powder in it. My kids thought it was too thick.
MissSolz:...
MissSolz:
yes, you can use unhomogenised milk 😊
or normal fresh milk. I don't think the recipe calls for long life milk.
it should be full cream milk and the better quality milk the better yoghurt.
You use the ice bath after you have cooked the milk and sugar (if using). Then when it has cooled down to below 37 you add it back to the Thermomix jug, add your starter yoghurt and warm it again. Then you wrap it and put in a warm place overnight
i would add the flavoring after it has set, at least the first time.
good luck. It's a great yoghurt. I usually make it without sweetener and then add the sweetener when serving if required. I usually eat it as is with no sweetener.

I added cream and milk powder to mine as per the recipe on the tm5 and it turned out perfect! I love that my tm bowl is now free when I'm making yogurt and I don't have to stand the yogurt in my Thermomix to make it anymore. Perfect!

Love it I'm not a really good home maker. But this was really easy and soo tasty.
I cooked the first lot of milk mixture in the fridge with ice water bath. Then put it next to my oil heater on low and wrapped in a towel.
made a little later then I though so it stayed there for 14 hours then into the fridge for four hour and then mixed and served in the morning. Nice and thick and creamy.
I then biltz frozen strawberries with a little water and mixed that in yummy strawberry flavour and I also experimented and mixed a bit of milo and milk up to make a thick paste and mixed that into a small amount yougurt was ok similarly to store milk yogurt.
I used the who 150g sugar and found it a little sweet so will be reducing that down next time.
Hi...
Hi
ive read all the comments and your instructions and have a few questions.
can I use unhomoginized fresh milk? If not can I normal fresh milk or has to be long life?
Any idea how I can make this yoghurt flavored during the cooking process? They little ones love flavored fruit yoghurt and I wanted to put it into their reusable cute pouches as they love the store bought so I can avoid buying as I prefer home made.
lastly can you pls clarify when I'm supposed to keep it warm and cool it down? The comment about the ice bath is in the same Paragraph as when to keep it warm so I'm confused? Thanks

how long do you leave the mix in the fridge in the ice bowl before transferring it into the thermoserver? Thanks

Not quite sure what happened to mine but it has not thickened at all. Very disappointed because this recipe has such great feedback.

I have tried a few different yoghurt recipes since first getting my Thermomix but I never liked the texture or taste of any of them. This one is the BEST!! So easy to follow and everything about this yoghurt is perfect!!

I am SO impressed with this recipe! I went through a tmx yoghurt making phase about 2 years ago and tried lots of different recipes, variations, research and tweaks on the quest for the perfect recipe. In the end I cobbled together a formula that worked pretty well, but it used UHT milk and powder and eventually I stopped making it. This recipe was recently recommended on a facebook group I'm in and I'll admit I was skeptical about the lack of powder, but I tried it last night and it was a BIG success!
I have a TM31 with a 2.2L thermoserver and they were both pretty full, but it was doable. I used 100g sugar which is lovely but I might reduce it next time. I used Farmers Union full fat Greek yoghurt for my starter and 2L of organic milk I scored on sale. Love that it's such a large quantity - I think that's half the reason I stopped making it last time, I was just spending too much time on it, but this will last longer.
One extra thing I did from my previous yoghurt making days was to preheat the thermoserver with boiling water during the 12min part with a gel heatpack in the water. Once the 12 mins is up I drain the water, fill the thermoserver with the milk mixture and pop the heatpack on top of the thermoserver lid before wrapping it in a towel to keep it warm overnight. In the morning I put it straight into the fridge (still in the thermoserver) without peeking. That evening I decant it into other containers. (I've found this means less risk of the yoghurt turning runny.)
One question: in the ingredients & tips it says you can use honey instead of sugar, but then it says to stir the honey in after. Could you also use honey during the cooking process?
Thanks for the great recipe!
When you add fruit do you
When you add fruit do you find it losses it's thickness. Also when adding fruit do you just chop by hand or blend in the thermo? thanks.
Hi there, absolutely not! You
Hi there, absolutely not! You may need to check your scales? The TM5 is 2.2L capacity at maximum but your photo shows you've gone way above maximum. It's only 2L that you add in. The only other thing I can think of is that you put your scales on, then took your kid off, which would have made your scales sit at about -275g.

Hello! Yes, that is generally
Hello! Yes, that is generally the case OR it got too hot. Definitely freeze the yoghurt for smoothies! I'm sorry to hear it didn't work, where did you put it overnight?

Hi, great recipe thanks.
Hi, great recipe thanks. Unfortunately after 12hrs my yoghurt hasn't set. Is this because it was not warm enough perhaps? Is there anything I can use it for now? Freeze and use as milk sub in baking maybe?
Hi, just made our first
Hi, just made our first batch! But is it supposed to be this full? i couldnt fit it all in a 2.6lt thermoserver :/ I had to ditch about a cup. I followed the recipe to a T including 200g of milled raw sugar, just making sure this is normal
Brilliant recipe - I make it
Brilliant recipe - I make it a couple of times a week without sugar or honey - I just add honey or homemade chia jam to the top for the kids lunches, add to muslie or porridge or breakfast, add grated cucumber & garlic for Raita to have with curries - perfect everytime, thanks Chenoa xx

I use between 1.5L and 2L of milk, and the starter culture from my previous batch of yoghurt (no sugar) using these instructions, and love the yoghurt it makes. I preheat the thermoserve with very hot water while mixing in the starter culture too. Thank you for a great recipe!
Thanks for your feedback! I
Thanks for your feedback! I used to make this in my TM31 and yes, it frothed a bit into the lid but never out of the bowl. Always check your seal is clicked in tightly. I see you have twins! Congrats - I'm a mummy of triplets plus 3 more!
Thermomixing is my 'me' time!
I've made this recipe at
I've made this recipe at least a dozen times now without a single fail. It is thick and creamy every time. I don't include any sugar. In my opinion though this recipe overfills the TM31 bowl. The first few times I made it a small amount of milk leaked from the bowl and the machine would make a strange squeaking sound. When opening the lid of the bowl after the last step the mixture would always be above the maximum line because it had frothed up and thickened a bit with the yogurt added. I now make this recipe with 1600g of milk instead and when I open it on the final step the mixture is exactly on the maximum/2L line.
Love it
Love it
Thanks Clara! Great feedback.
Thanks Clara! Great feedback. Just remember with this yoghurt you don't need milk powder! It's a beautifully thick and creamy one. Milk powder has all sorts of icky things in it, hence why I created this recipe. I didn't want to use one of the ones floating around that added milk powder. It's all in the heating of the milk beforehand
enjoy!

This was really great. I onlyy did half the amount so i could store the yoghurt in my easiyo container to save fridge space! I used 70 grams of sugar and also added in some milk powder (half cup) to help with the setting and thickness. I put it in the thermoserve, wrapped in a blanket at around 8pm, then put in the fridge this morning at 7am. Left it to chill during the day and it was lovely.

If you use lactose free milk
If you use lactose free milk you will need the sugar. The yoghurt making process needs sugar, so with lactose free you have no sugar. Try just 80g next time and it will make a huge difference

I get amazing results with
I get amazing results with this recipe when I start with a fresh batch of culture (small tub of jalna Greek) but I've had mixed results as I continue to remake the yoghurt from my own. It may be because sometimes I get impatient and open the thermoserver to check on it before the time is up, which probably affects the temperature! I'm such a nosy cook...
I like to to use yoghurt as an alternative to sour cream in a variety of recipes, mostly guacamole, so I don't use any sugar at all, and the last batch worked really well.
Cant wait to try this recipe!

Hi Tribec,
to be honest I'm not sure about coconut sugar! Yes, you definitely could use raw sugar, just mill before the first step. I've been making it with 100-120g of sugar which is pretty good with 2L milk. However a friend made it yesterday with 50g of sugar and it worked perfect
