How to Make Crockpot Yogurt

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk to 180-185°F (82-85°C) using a thermometer. Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool to 110-115°F (43-46°C). This is crucial for activating the yogurt starter.
  3. In a clean bowl, whisk together the milk and yogurt starter until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into your greased crockpot.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until set. Cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot.
  6. After cooking, turn off the crockpot and let the yogurt sit undisturbed in the crockpot for 4-6 hours (or even overnight) to further thicken.
  7. Once cooled, gently stir and transfer to airtight containers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  8. Note: For a thicker yogurt, add 1-2 tablespoons of skim milk powder to the mixture before cooking (optional).
