French-style Yoghurt

Print Recipe
These little lightly-set yoghurts are mild and naturally sweet. They are very easy to make and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Top with fresh berries for a delicious healthy breakfast, or serve as a simple snack any time. Use small heat-proof glass pots or ramekins which hold between 125 and 150ml.

Ingredients

  • 600 ml full-fat milk
  • 75 g plain natural live yoghurt (not low-fat)

Instructions

  • Pour the milk into a large saucepan and bring to boiling point, stirring occasionally. Watch the milk carefully because it cold boil over – using a big pan makes this less likely. As soon as the milk begins to boil, reduce the heat so the temperature drops quickly.
  • Simmer the milk gently for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat, pour into a large heat-proof measuring jug and leave to cool for 30 minutes. Stir every now and then so a skin doesn't form.
  • Whisk the yoghurt into the milk and pour the mixture into six 125ml ramekins of heat-proof glass pots. Cover each one with foil and press around the edge to seal. (This will prevent water dripping on to the yoghurts as they cook.)
  • Place in the slow cooker, ideally in one layer. Add about 500ml cold water (it shouldn't rise more than halfway up the bottom layer of the pots) and cover with the lid. Cook on LOW for 30 minutes then turn off the slow cooker and leave to stand for 6-8 hours before transferring to the fridge. Keep chilled and eat within 3 days.
  • This recipes cooks for 30 minutes on LOW, and is left to stand for 6-8 hours afterwards.

Notes

Cooks Tip: Ceramic cooker pots work best for making yoghurt as they retain heat much better. If using a metal slow cooker pot, you will need to remove it from the slow cooker base after the cooking time and cover the closed pot with a thick, dry towel to help retain the heat, otherwise the yoghurt may not set thickly enough.

Using a few ingredients you can create an easy war Using a few ingredients you can create an easy warm salad that's just right for this in-between weather.  Toss chickpeas, cubes of squash and cauliflower with a little olive oil and spices (I use a combination of cumin, coriander and chilli), scatter onto a tray and bake in a hot oven until lightly roasted. Toss with baby spinach and roasted peppers from a jar, before drizzling with a simple yoghurt dressing.⁠

I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe fr I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe from my book ‘Quick and Easy’ because I don't need any scales – just a small yoghurt pot for all my measuring. They’re deliciously light and very simple to make – the key is to have your pan nice and hot before adding the batter. (You can swipe for the recipe – I’ve included the weights and measures in case you are using a larger 500g pot of yoghurt.)
