How do you make coconut yogurt in the Instant Pot?

To make coconut yogurt, combine full-fat coconut milk with a thickener like agar agar, heat the mixture, cool it down, stir in probiotic capsules, and incubate using the "Yogurt" function on the Instant Pot for 12 hours. Then refrigerate until set.

Is making yogurt in the Instant Pot worth it?

Absolutely. It’s cost-effective, customizable, and healthier than many store-bought options. You control the ingredients, flavors, and thickness while saving money and reducing packaging waste.

What are the pros and cons of coconut yogurt?

Pros include its dairy-free nature, high probiotic content, and creamy texture. It’s ideal for people with lactose intolerance or those following vegan diets. Cons? It can be a bit thinner than dairy yogurt and may need thickeners to get the perfect texture.

Do you seal or vent the Instant Pot when making yogurt?

Neither. When making yogurt, you simply rest the lid on top without sealing it. The yogurt function doesn’t use pressure it maintains a warm temperature for fermentation.
