Ingredients explained

🥛 2000 g of fresh milk: the base of your yogurt, preferably whole for more creaminess.
🍼 250 g of powdered milk: provides consistency and helps make it thicker.
🥄 200 g of cream (35% fat): to enrich and give that creamy texture characteristic of Greek yogurt.
🍶 180 g of natural Greek yogurt: serves as a ferment and guarantees the final texture.

Grades: You can replace the cream with evaporated milk for a lighter version or use lactose-free yogurt if you prefer.

Equipment and preparation

What you need: Thermomix TM6 (for Ferment mode), large measuring cup and spatula.

Previous preparation (mise en place): Measure and prepare all the ingredients before you start. The milk should be fresh and at room temperature. Have the airtight container or glasses ready where you are going to store the yogurt.

This previous step makes the cooking and fermentation uniform, preventing the mixture from being curdled or liquid. It also saves time and ensures perfect yogurt from the first try.

Detailed step-by-step instructions

1Place the 2000 g of fresh milk and the 250 g of powdered milk in the glass. Mix 20 seconds, speed 5.

2Program 15 minutes, 90°C, speed 3 to pasteurize the mixture and ensure consistency. Check the temperature and, if it has not reached 90°C, program 5 more minutes.

3Let the mixture cool to 50°C (approx. 1.5 to 2 hours). This is important so as not to kill the bacteria in the fermented yogurt.

4Add the cream and mix for 30 seconds, speed 3. Let the temperature drop to 45°C before adding the fermented yogurt.

5Add the 180 g of Greek yogurt and mix for 30 seconds, speed 3.

6Program Ferment mode for 8 hours at 45°C. When finished, pour the yogurt into individual glasses or an airtight container and let it cool in the refrigerator.

Pro tips and troubleshooting
