Vietnamese Yogurt
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Cup Boiling Water
- 2 1/2 Cups whole milk
- 1 Cup Half & Half Milk
- 6 oz Plain Whole Milk Yogurt ( Must contain "Live Active Culture" )
Tools Needed:
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Mesh Strainer
- Large Container With A Spout
- 8 Mason Jars (Half Pint / 8 ounces each )
- Large Baking Dish 9.3"x13.3"
- Cookie Tray or Baking Tray
- Paper Towels
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees for 25 minutes. Then turn it off and keep the oven door closed. Do not open the oven door otherwise you will let the warm air out.
- Make the yogurt mixture. Heat up 1 cup of water in a tea kettle and BEFORE the water comes to a boil, turn off the heat. Set aside.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a mixing bowl.
- Add in the 1 cup of hot water from the tea kettle into the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Place the cold milk in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes to bring it to room temperature.
- Add the warm milk to the mixture.
- Place the cold half & half milk in the microwave for 45 seconds to bring it to room temperature as well.
- Then add it to the mixture and stir.
- Lastly add in the yogurt . Stir until everything is combined and there are no more lumps.
- Should there be any lumps after stirring it for a few minutes, you can strain the mixture through a mesh sieve. If you do not see or feel any lumps then you can skip this step.
- Transfer the mixture to some kind of container with a spout for easy pouring.
- Evenly fill the containers with yogurt mixture. If you are using the 8 oz mason jars then fill each one with 6 ounces of the yogurt mixture. Should there be any bubbles on the top of the yogurt, use a spoon to scoop them out to give them a smooth surface.
- Fill a tea kettle with water and bring to a near boil. Before the water should come to a boil, turn off the heat.
- Pour the hot water into the baking tray and fill it up half way.
- Transfer the baking tray to the oven but it is VERY IMPORTANT to double check that the oven is turned off.
- Do not put the lids on the jars yet. Just lay some paper towels over the jars.
- Then place a cookie sheet or baking tray on top of the paper towels.
- The yogurt needs to incubate for 8 hours. Leave the yogurt in the oven with the door closed . It is not necessary to turn on the oven light.
- After 8 hours, check to see if the yogurt is done by tilting the jar. It should now be solid and there should not be any liquid dripping from it. Remove from the oven and place the lids on the jars.
- Transfer the yogurt to the refrigerator to chill for 4 hours.
- Enjoy !
Notes
It is best to make a batch of yogurt in the morning so that you can enjoy it by the end of the day.
