Instant Pot Homemade Noosa Honey Yoghurt is sweet, creamy, mild, wildly delicious and very similar in taste to the popular Australian type yoghurt, which is made in Colorado.
Add three cups of water to the Instant Pot cooking pot, lock on lid and close Pressure Valve. Push the Steam button and adjust to 5 minutes. When Beep is heard, open Pressure Valve (Quick Release). When all pressure has been released, remove lid and dump out the water. Dry and cool off cooking pot.
Make Noosa Yogurt (not under pressure)
Pour milk and cream into cold/cool Pressure Cooker cooking pot. Cover with IP Lid or Glass Lid. Close the Pressure Valve, if desired.
Push Yogurt button and then the Adjust button, until it says "boil." After 10 minutes, remove lid, remove milk skin and whisk milk.
Mix together sugar and Gelatine and set aside.
When Beep is heard, open lid. Remove milk film. Whisk and take temperature. If the temperature is not 180 degrees, repeat last step.
When 180 degrees is reached, add 1 cup of the 180-183 degree Milk to the bowl of Sugar and Gelatine and Whisk until completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into the pot of Hot Milk and Whisk, until fully incorporated.
Remove cooking pot and place in kitchen sink full of cold water. Cool down to 105 degrees, whisking often. Remove any milk skin. Cool down should take about 5 minutes
In a measuring cup, mix together starter and honey. Temper starter by adding 6 Tablespoons warm milk to starter mix and whisk until smooth. Pour Starter Mixture into cooking pot and Whisk to combine.
Place cooking pot back into the Instant Pot and cover with IP Lid or Glass Lid.
Press Yogurt button. The display screen should say 8:00 (hit again or Adjust until it says 8:00). Adjust time down to 6:00. Make sure display says "Normal," not "Less." The program will end after 6 hours.
When Cycle ends, open the lid and give it a quick Whisk. Taste and add more sugar if a sweeter taste is desired. Grab your Mason Jars or Storage Containers and divide up the Yogurt. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 8-10 to allow time for the Yogurt to properly set.
Notes
Plain Yogurt can be substituted for the Noosa "Starter."If you want to make a Lemon or Key Lime Noosa, reduce the amount of sugar/honey during incubation. You can always add more later, if your yogurt is not sweet enough. Instead, prepare a batch of Pressure Cooker Lemon Curd or Key Lime Curd and add the chilled Curd to the chilled yogurt.If you keep Kosher, this Instant Pot Homemade Noosa Yoghurt Copycat can be made using this Kosher Gelatin. Knox Gelatine packets are less than a Tablespoon each, so make sure to measure.Start with 1 Tablespoon of the Gelatine. If your Yogurt is not as thick as you like, bloom one teaspoon at a time and mix into the cold yogurt, until you get your desired thickness. Then next time, start with the total amount.
