Instant Pot Coconut Milk Yogurt Recipe:
1 can full fat coconut milk]
¼ teaspoon yogurt starter or 1 tablespoon of plain coconut milk yogurt
2 teaspoons beef gelatin or powdered agar agar
FIRST: BE SURE TO SANITIZE YOUR INSTANT POT!!! Do this by pouring in 3 cups of water and then setting the pressure to 15 minutes on high. Do a quick release, drain water, dry the inner pot, and proceed with the recipe.
To heat the coconut milk up, hit the Yogurt function on your Instant Pot. Hit yogurt again until it reads boil.
Pour in the coconut milk and gelatin or agar agar and whisk well to incorporate. Use a digital thermometer to watch the temperature of the yogurt. You want it to reach 110-115 degrees. This only takes a few minutes. Once that temperature has been reached, turn the Instant Pot OFF.
Strain the coconut milk mixture over a mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth.
Whisk in powdered starter (or 1 tablespoon of plain coconut milk yogurt) until well combined.
Pour the yogurt mixture back into the inner pot to incubate. Alternatively, you can pour your yogurt mixture into a heat safe glass jar(s) and place on the trivet of the Instant Pot. Just be sure to add 1 cup warm water to the inner pot as well.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and then set the incubation time. To set the incubation time, hit yogurt function and then adjust function until the time reads 24:00. Be sure pressure is at normal and not low--if at low hit yogurt again. You can then use your +/- buttons to adjust the time if you desire a different amount of time for incubation.
Once the yogurt has been incubated, remove from the Instant Pot and place the inner pot or jar of yogurt, undisturbed into the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
After the 8 hours, whisk the yogurt to incorporate the fat solids and liquids together and serve as desired. At this point, you can add in sweetener or your choice.
