It’s no secret that the Instant Pot is a wonderfully versatile appliance, and many models have a “yogurt” function, which acts as a boiler and an incubator to create perfect yogurt, every time. For us, the most difficult part of this process is waiting for the precious IP to be available for use while it is creating yogurt! While we recommend the full 24-hour cycle, you can really let it be ready to refrigerate after about 4-6 hours. Really, the longer you let it incubate, the more live probiotics are present, and in our opinion, the better it tastes! Making a standard dairy milk yogurt is equally simple - and we will be linking it here soon!

We’ve been stacking up the successful Instant Pot recipes in the draft section here for a while, and I can’t wait to get more of them live for you! As mentioned, we are also always happy to create more recipes for our readers and their preferences. Lately, we have been focused on a lot of plant-based, dairy-free options lately per reader request. You may notice our Instant Pot is different now, that’s because we found a replacement for our retired one through a sweet 54% off Amazon deal! Definitely recommend that you shop their next sale if you’re looking to add another to your life or replace a retired one like we did!

Also… have you seen the amazing selection on Instant Pot brand appliances?! They are all over it! I am blown away by how beautiful and functional they all are! Check them all out here!

This recipe specifically has the option to substitute and use Aroy-D coconut cream instead of whole milk as a dairy free option, because it has no additives, and is made into coconut milk by watering it down. It is usually available at ethnic markets, or on Amazon here.

I love the Aroy-D brand and have been using their whole line for years. The main reason I prefer this specific product of theirs is that they don’t put anything extra in there, but you can test it out with whatever plain full fat coconut milk or cream you’d like. We recommend avoiding those with preservatives and will update this post with any other brands we find to work successfully!

If you choose a nondairy probiotic starter, many of our readers have suggested one like this dairy-free vegan one. Another option is to use a couple of tablespoons of plain additive-free live cultured coconut yogurt, but that is nearly impossible to find in a store near us.

As always we hope you enjoy our recipes and please give your suggestions for what you want to see next. Check out the type of recipe you are interested in by using the search box in the menu or on the sidebar in a post. We highly encourage experimentation when cooking, after all, that is how we began blogging about our creations! Feel free to add/omit ingredients or substitute what you have on hand and tell us how your variations turn out!
