TM5 Automated Program : Yoghurt

[CreamPuff63]

I'm not a real yoghurt lover, only using it in recipes. On the other hand my family love it, so will love to give this a go as soon as I can. I currently do easiyo which I've never been 100% happy about cos it uses milk powder, but ok cos it's cheaper than buying 1kg of equivalent quality yoghurt in the supermarket. Can I ask is a starter required with the first batch?

Clever cookie. And you can cook rice in one and the rest of the meal in the other, thus saving time.

I do that all the time

The recipe does use milk powder and a starter CP.  

[CreamPuff63]

What sort of starter do they say?

[Cornish Cream]

The recipe just stated plain yogurt CP.I used a plain bio yoghurt starter.

That was one of the selling points for me.

It's a great feature kyton.

I have saved making this until my head was a little clearer. I have done everything, though forgot about the milk at room temperature and waited a while, but milk at room temp here would differ to in the UK or Dubai.
I am standing beside it would you believe. I must not watch for 8 hours. Just after I had put it on DH requested a cup of coffee. I have put the coffee somewhere and I can't find it. I've looked in the fridge, the oven, the freezer, all the cupboards, the bin, and have no idea what I've done  with it.    Perhaps the mind isn't as clear as I had hoped.

Have you found it yet Cookie?

[CreamPuff63]

Hmmn, I wonder what coffee yoghurt tastes like ... 

[achookwoman]

Cookie,  have looked in the undies drawer?

Coffee yogurt, I did buy some once it was ok but wasn't tempted to buy  it again.  I must get into yogurt making.

DH found the coffee. It was in the wall unit with the very best coffee cups. I'm sure I didn't put it there.  at least it's not in the yoghurt, which will be ready in  36 minutes.

I used the automated program to make coconut yoghurt overnight on Wednesday. It was really runny, but after 24 hours in the fridge it is much, much thicker. I didn't use any thickening agent (such as agar agar or pectin) or sweetener, just coconut cream, dry non-dairy yoghurt culture and a probiotic tablet.

My yoghurt was lovely and thick when I put it in the fridge last night. I stupidly put a little sugar in it bit I'm sure it will be ok. I haven't tasted it this morning yet.

CP I used to use Easyo as well until TMX days and now make the recipe from UK Thermomix site; no powdered milk. For a starter I used Jalna Bio Dynamic yoghurt from supermarket (you could use any good yoghurt but not flavoured) and I used the Margaret River milk. Just save a bit for the next time to use as a starter. Hope that make sense; it has always worked out nice and thick and no nasties in it.
