Yogurt with Thermomix



Have you ever thought of making yogurt at home? Now you can make it with your own thermomix following one of these recipes. You'll be so satisfied!

It may seem strange, but the ingredients of yogurt are milk and yogurt itself that feeds milk with alive ferments (bacteria) and gives it that typical sour taste.

You can read "Natural yogurt" on many yogurt tubs. What does it mean? Are the others "not natural" then? I mean: "What do they contain?" Probably flavourings and preservatives that keep yogurt long lasting and make it more appetising. But they're not very good for our health. That's why I think making yogurt at home is a fantastic idea because you don't need to buy other kitchenware.

Once I've tried to prepare ricotta cheese with milk and vinegar. I had found the recipe in a magazine and the "small chemist" inside me couldn't resist. The result hasn't been fantastic and it had a very different taste from the fresh ricotta I had bought in a typical shop on the mountain, but as always I was very satisfied. That's why I won't hesitate to try one or all the recipes suggested on the Italian Facebook page by the fans. (English Facebook page here)

You can reuse a glass of this yogurt as a starter for the new one for 4-5 times. Then you'd better start again with a new Activia yogurt.


Recipe n° 6


This is Paola de Filippis's recipe


Ingredients


- 1 L Fresh Full-Fat Pasteurised Milk
- 1 Activia Natural (or fruit flavoured) Yogurt


How to prepare Yogurt with Thermomix


If milk isn't pasteurised. 5 Min. 80°C Speed 3.

If milk has been already pasteurised. Heat it in the bowl. 10 Min. 50°C Speed 2.

Pour the yogurt and mix. 5 Min. Speed 3.

Leave the bowl in its position and cover with a wool blanket.

Let rest for at least 12 Hours.

Filter yogurt with a strainer and pour it in a container. Close and keep refrigerated.


Paola's advice


If you like sweet yogurt, you can add some spoons of sugar to the milk before heating it. While if you want to flavour it with fruits you can use fruit yogurt or make it natural and then add whatever you want: jams, syrups, etc....

If you preserve about 125g of this yogurt you've made, you can use it as starter for the next times (about 3 or 4. Then it will loose consistency).

Remove the bowl from its place and cover with a wool blanket for 10 Hours.


Giulia's advice


You can preserve a bit of this yogurt you've made and use it as starter for the next times (max 5 or 6 times).

If you want it thicker, strain it.

- 1 L UHT Milk

Your suggestions


Francesca Albanese
I use the same recipe of Rita, but I use Natural Activia, it is very good...for those who love sour yogurt.

Beatrice Marasi
The wool blanket is necessary because it maintains the temperature. Otherwise the ferments fall asleep!

Laura Birolini
To have a thicker yogurt you may use full-fat uht milk. It is better. Fruit and sugar are added when you must eat it.
