faffa's Yoghurt

[Frozzie]

thanks andie...i love sheeps cheese and think i will try it out as i found some sheeps yoghurt and milk in a lcoal organic store so will try out the sheeps yoghurt...in France they tend to tell you just to use an individual tub of yoghurt and milk of whatever animal or bean/vegetable and if having trouble thickening add either a little milk powder in some recipe and in other some presure which if i remember is just like the liquid bacteria or something that helps the yoghurt along...not a fan of goats products either..the aftertaste is too strong generally but did find a commercial milk i could handle..

thanks andie you always have the answer

It makes you feel good when you get it right twice, you then know that the first time wasn't just a fluke. Lol.

[Halex]

Dede, so true

How are you going with the flavourings

The first batch that I made I put the frozen fruit in wasn't nice to start with. But then after a couple of days it was really nice as the fruit flavors had mixed through and is all gone now. The second batch my daughter had some with a little strawberry topping and she said was really yummy as well. I havnt had any as yet but am going to have some this morning with a little vanilla flavoring and some toasted museli mixed in.

[Halex]

Let me know how the muesli one goes, that mightvsuit dh for breakfast to replace his brownes.

What is vanilla flavouring? I buy vanilla bean paste, but its $9.99 for a very small pot so that would be expenive.

I found a vanilla flavouring at the supermarket kind of like topping but not a thick syrup ( not sure of the brand). I did read somewhere that you can't use vanilla extract as the alcohol will separate the yoghurt. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for all the questions, doubts and successes everyone, it really helps.  I read everything and can report a perfect batch of yogurt this morning.  I divided into a smaller container so I can try different flavorings.  DD was happy when I just added some honey, the yogurt we buy is flavored with honey so it's very similar.  And also added frozen mixed berries.  It worked perfect in the Eziyo and not at all stringy like the last time I tried (pre-TMX).

I have a glut of oranges at the moment, so I made orange butter a couple of days ago. This morning we stirred some of that through our yoghurt. YUMMO! Now I also have orange-butter-yoghurt wraps drying in the food dehydrator.

Glad to here of your success Vicaroo.
And what a great idea jkmt, Let us know how they go, sounds really interesting.

I love the sound of the roll ups jkmt will have to try them out when my new dehydrator gets here 

[jkmt]

I don't think I will bother with the roll-ups again. I sprinkled one tray with dessicated coconut, and left the other plain. I was able to get a few less than perfect  roll-ups out of the coconut one, but the plain one cracked into lots of little pieces when I tried to lift strips off. No loss though - I had also dried strawberry slices, so I can make up little snaplock bags of mixed strawberry and yoghurt pieces. Good for lunchboxes.

I do remember when I did more dehydrating years ago that there were certain brands of yoghurt that made better roll-ups than others. Not sure why, though.

[Halex]

Havent made ths for ages.

Have a batch cooking in the TM atm.

Hope I still have the knack.

Have not been able to find anything that flavours it like DH's brownes breakfast yogurt, still trying as he gets through 2 pots per week which is about $10 in yoghurt.
