Instant Pot Vietnamese Yogurt Recipe – Pandan, Ube & Original Flavors – FOOD is Four Letter Word (2024)

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 9 hours

Serves: 12

Method

• 1)

  In a large bowl, add ⅓ Cup Plain Yogurt and ¼ Cup Ultra-Pasteurized Milk and stir with a whisk very well until it’s smooth. Add 14 oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk and another ¼ Cup Ultra-Pasteurized Milk and stir with a whisk until it’s well combined and extremely smooth. Add the rest of the 6 Cups of Ultra-Pasteurized Milk, stir until it’s smooth and hom*ogenous. I mix it this way to ensure the yogurt turns out smooth, if the yogurt and sweetened condensed milk are not mixed in well you will have grainy yogurt.

• 2)

  Measure out 2⅔ Cups of the mixture, add ¼ Teaspoon Pandan Flavoring and stir well – pour into yogurt jars. Measure out 2⅔ Cups of the mixture, add ¼ Teaspoon Ube Flavoring, ¼ Teaspoon Coconut Extract and stir well – pour into yogurt jars. Pour the plain mixture into yogurt jars – put lids on all the yogurt jars. Add 1 Cup of Water to the Instant Pot and stack the jars into the pot (you don’t need a trivet).

• 3)

  Choose the Yogurt button, set for:

  9 Hours for sweet
  13 Hours for tart
  18 Hours for more tart

  When it’s done, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!

  Hi Van! I make your Oui vanilla yogurt recipe all the time and absolutely LOVE it! I would like to try making this Vietnamese yogurt. Do you recommend whole milk or 2% or less for milk fat content? And what brand of plain yogurt do you recommend using for the culture? When we make the Oui copycat yogurt and use the Oui yogurt for the culture, it always comes out thick and creamy. My brother tried fa*ge yogurt for the culture and it came out thin and watery and needed to be strained. Do you have a preferred yogurt starter for this Vietnamese yogurt? Thank you so much!

     Hi Lynette! Glad to hear that! I usually use whole milk, but you can use either. I like to use Siggi’s yogurt as a starter – it’s easy to find at any grocery store or Target
