faffa's Yoghurt

[VieveMS]

BTW, I used Pure Organic Full Cream Milk.  Not sure if that had any bearing on the result.

My first attempt at using cheeselinks starter went well lovely thick and creamy yoghurt.

[Kimmyh]

Woohoo well done GHM.

[judydawn]

Well done GHM, what sort of milk did you use? 

[Greyhoundmum]

Hi JD only ever buy HiLo Milk 😄

[judydawn]

Do we have that in SA anyone?  I don't recall seeing it.  Thanks GHM.

I used this recipe Vieve and after the first step, I tipped the milk into a bowl and stuck the TM bowl into the fridge for 1/2 hour.  Poured the milk back into the bowl, put the bowl in place and the 37^oC light was out so I just heated it until the light came back on - only took a short time - then continued with the recipe.
Tipped it into my Easiyo container, poured hot but not boiling water into the thermos and left it untouched for 12 hours.

Next time I'll try full cream milk and see if it makes much difference to the thickness.

The higher the butterfat content, the thicker the result.  The photos I posted from the batch I made with half and half show very thick and firm yogurt scooped with an ice cream disher and holding its shape on a dish.
If you use heavy cream - prepared exactly the same way - it will give you a result similar to clotted cream, not as "tangy" as yogurt made with lower butterfat content and nicely spreadable.

My yoghurt is quite thick but we still Ned to drain it to give a thicker creamier texture which we prefer. Loving the cheese links and kids are now loving the yogurt.

Hi JD not sure if you have your question answered by anyone living in SA but HILo milk is basically full flavor but reduced fat, not as watery  as skimmed but still low fat, hope that helps.

Apparently it is only available in Perth GHM.

It worked 



Yum, nice thick creamy yoghurt - I am really pleased with the taste and texture  so is DH; he's been tucking in already

Going to make the CADA mix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8OsNu02fXo hoping the family will have it for breakfast. I also made cashew cream this morning from the same video link - but it tastes quite bland Hopefully that will taste better with something as opposed to being on its own

Similar to light/lite milk. In other words, between skim and full cream. Hi-lo does seem to be a Perth term (brownes and pura milk)  although Canberra Milk also do hilo.

Or it is sometimes known as high calcium low in fat 😄

I made my first batch of yoghurt and the texture of the result was ok but the taste.......   Didn't like it

It was way too tangy for me.  I used full cream milk - would that have an effect on the taste?

Not sure what to do to change the taste.

[Amy :-)]

Chrissa, I've found its usually the lower fat milks that have a tangier taste. How odd that your full cream ended up like that
Hopefully one of the more experienced yoghurt-makers will have an answer for you

Can you use up the yoghurt in baking?
