Can you use almond milk instead of soy milk ?
I tried this yesterday, purchased both the exact Soy Milk and Culture from Amazon as per Jill's video and followed the directions to a T – even "cooked" for 11 hours instead of 8 only to open my IPot lid and find runny milk inside my bottles. So discouraging!!! So I put them in the fridge over night to see if they would "set" and woke up to the same runny milk. Put them back in my Ipot, 8 hours is almost up so I'll check soon but not even sure if its safe now. Why wouldn't this work for me?!
THANK YOU so much –made it last night! DELICIOUS!! I am with you Sister Jill!! IT works!!
I love your video! Can't wait to try this. Thank you!
Hi Jill, I am very interested in making a thicker yoghurt! So, you don't use the pectin, that they offer with the vegan starter on their website, right? Another thing, did you ever try to save some yogurt as a starter for the next batch?
You are so dang cute, I love this video and I love this recipe.
Sadly, Soy milk jacks up your Insulin level. I am told by my endocrinologist never eat soy because it converts my testosterone into estrogen.
I just ordered the Edensoy milk you used because if I fail at making non-dairy yogurt again (after 2 dozen tries) I'm going to go mad!
Ingredients in this brand of soy milk is the reason why the or your Yogurt comes out thick. ,, if you are to make your own Soy Milk, using water only, the Yogurt will not be as thick as with this brand you are using.
You are awesome Jill. I watched your video and bought the Eden Soy and Cultures for Health products. The yogurt came out creamy and perfect the first time!! Thank you so much. Keep up the terrific work!
You skipped a step! Set 1 minute to steam to sanitize. Read the Instapot instruction book.
Mine didnt turn out thick… is there a difference between each of the eden soys?
Perfect, Perfect!! Turned out thick… and, did I say Perfect?! I decided to make 3 smaller jars with one Eden milk and starter. I just shook it up and divided it into 3 jars. I’ll definitely make again and try your mayonnaise and cheese. Thank you! Finally nota fail … Perfect 😁👍
Hi Jill,
I have a suggestion for you to further your money savings.
I use a Joyoung soy milk maker.
I buy the soybeans in bulk.
For each 1.3 liters, I use less than 1/4 cup dried soybeans.
Jill help! I used a soy with 10g protein and my yogurt came out soooo thin. How can i thicken it??? Help! Agar agar???? You are sooo funny – yes driving me crazy!!!
If your going to sweeten or add fruit…do you do this AFTER it cultures?
I tried following everything you said, and mine is still running. When I hit yogurt function it was on medium. Is this correct?
I’m flummoxed! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong?! I have an iPot Ultra 6 qt.; when I make the yogurt rights in the inner pot, boiling the Eden Soy milk first, (I’ve never tried making it in the inner pot without boiling first.) then add the culture once it gets down to temperature, it comes out fine. If I do it in glass bowl or jars, it does not set; stays milk! The first time I did it in a glass bowl, without boiling first, it didn’t set. I then poured it into the inner pot, and reset it on yogurt setting, for another 10 hrs. again, and it set.
Today, I tried to make it in 2 jars, (without boiling first) the exact way you did it in this video—no go! After 10 hours on yogurt setting, it was loose milk! I poured it into the inner pot and reset the yogurt setting, and am hoping for the best, that it will set overnight. WTHeck?! Have no idea why it’s not working. I use a whole packet of culture per 32 oz. Eden Soy, as you did in this video. Could there be something wrong with my iPot?…Or just me? ☹️
Can u make the yogurt in the inner pot instead of the mason jars?
Hi Jill! Sorry if I'm overthinking this — I have the 6 quart IP. I'm only making yogurt for myself so probably only need to use one carton of soy milk. Would that be one packet of the Cultures for Health + the 1 carton of soy milk distributed across 2 pint jars?
Love your recipes, hoping to make more over the next little while! You were the first recipe for making beans in the I Pot I followed — perfect advice! (And so glad I have liquid smoke in the cupboard now).
is this cheaper than buying it premade? i want to make it either way, just curious thanks!
I looked up Eden soy milk on Amazon Canada and it automatically advertised that "frequently bought together" is that soy milk plus that exact yogurt starter. This must be because of this video! What influence you have!! Puppeteer Jill making Canada healthy.. haha.. I love you… Thank you for all that you do!
How do I turn this yogurt into sour cream? Is it possible?
Love your video! Is the yogurt consistency thick down to the bottom of the jar? I’m achieving thickness only in the top one inch.
Jill! I just finished making this (yay!) and would like to use it to make your soy yogurt cheese. Planning to make the veggie version from your ebook! My question is if I can take the yogurt right out of the iPot after it finishes yogurt-ing and begin staining it right away or do I need to chill it first? Second question, can I do all of the straining in the fridge or do I need to do the 12 hours at room temperature and then 12 in the fridge? Thanks Jill! Love you and your family so much 🐇
Hi, Jill. I just found you. Love your humor. I have been using Westsoy, unsweetened milk. It too is just soy and water. I have a 6 quart pot so use 6 tall pint jars and Solgar Advanced 40 + Acidophilus, one pill per jar. Put the milk in the blender, stir just to make a gentle vortex and empty 1 pill per jar ( so 6 pills) into the blender. Fill the jars, cap them loosely. I put a cup of water in my instant pot. Then process for 10 hours. Works every time. Saw it on YouTube.
Why in a jar? Dairy yogurt goes directly into instant pot.
I don't have a yogurt setting on my instant pot, what do I use in place of that?
