Author Notes

Growing up, my mom made homemade yogurt every week, and my job was to stand on a stool and carefully stir the milk so it wouldn't burn. Now, I make yogurt with my own daughter and keep the tradition alive.

I love that this recipe is perfect for any time of day, and full of all the nutrients that come with milk—but without any added sugar.—Hetal Vasavada

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt with live culture
  • 3/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 3/4 cups granola or meusli
  • 3/4 cup fresh fruit (blueberries or strawberries)
  • 7 tablespoons honey or your choice of sweetener (curd, chocolate sauce, caramel, etc)
Directions
  1. Add milk and cream to a large saucepan over medium heat and simmer while stirring occasionally. Heat the milk until it simmers and hits 180°F.
  2. Create an ice bath and cool the mixture down to 110°F while mixing.
  3. Remove from the ice bath and add 1 cup of the milk mixture to a blender. Add the yogurt to the blender and blend until smooth, about 10 - 15 seconds. Pour the mixture with the rest of the milk and whisk in the cardamom.
  4. Divide the milk mixture into seven 4 oz jars on a baking tray. Loosely cover with lids and let it sit in a warm place overnight, 6-10 hours. I like to set it in the oven with the light on.
  5. Once the yogurt is set, refrigerate for a few hours.
  6. When ready to serve, top with granola or meusli, fruit, and a tablespoon of honey.

Am I to assume it's "3 Cups whole milk"?
