Ingredients:
- 3 cups powdered milk
- 4 cups water
- 1 box heavy cream (*1/2 pint)
- 1 Tablespoon plain yogurt (this will act the starter)
- food flavoring like vanilla extract, etc. (optional)
- food coloring (optional)
Directions:
Fill a clean one quart container (I use the large yogurt containers) with 2 cups water. Stir in the plain yogurt, (*then stir in the cream), then the powdered milk. Then add the rest of the water. Stir once more.
I then place the container in a large (popcorn) bowl lined with an old electric heating pad. I turn the heating pad to low. I cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Let it sit there for about 12 - 14 hrs (depends how firm you like your yogurt). Then remove the container from the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hrs before serving.
To serve, stir yogurt to make sure it mixes well. Then you can add sugar, splenda, flavoring (lemon, strawberry, vanilla extract, etc.) and food coloring to make it look like store bought yogurt.
This is so rich and creamy I can only eat about a half a cup at a time. It is very, very good though.
You can use this recipe of plain yogurt as a starter for the next batch so you never again have to buy store bought yogurt.
