Our Thermomix Yoghurt tastes just like Jalna vanilla yoghurt... but at a fraction of the cost and made from just 5 ingredients. This recipe can easily be doubled for larger families.
For our family, one of the best budget-saving features of the Thermomix is being able to make our own homemade yoghurt.... and this vanilla bean flavoured recipe is by far our favourite!
How To Make Yoghurt In The Thermomix
Step 1: Place all ingredients into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 12 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 3
Step 2: Fill a ThermoServer with boiling water and set aside. When the yoghurt has finished mixing, pour the water out of the ThermoServer and dry it completely (it will now be warm).
Step 3: Pour the yoghurt into the ThermoServer, cover with the lid and then wrap in a towel or blanket to keep warm.
Step 4: Leave for 12 hours (without opening the lid) in a warm room. Then place into the fridge for at least 3 hours before using.
Tips For Making Yoghurt In The Thermomix
Use Full Cream Milk
This results in a thicker yoghurt than skim milk.
Milk Powder
Milk powder helps to thicken the yoghurt.
Use A High Quality Pot Set Yoghurt As The Starter
We recommend using a high quality pot set yoghurt (like Jalna) as it needs to have active cultures. Once you've made you first batch of yoghurt, you can reserve 100g to use as the starter for the next batch.
Varying The Amount Of Sugar
In this recipe we use 40g caster sugar. You can reduce this amount if you prefer a less sweet yoghurt. You can also increase it if you prefer a sweeter yoghurt. It might take a few batches to work out the amount of sugar you like.
Keep The Yoghurt Warm For 12 Hours
In order for your yoghurt to be thick and creamy, it needs to be kept warm for 12 hours. I recommend warming a ThermoServer with boiling water, then pouring out the water and drying it thoroughly before pouring in the yoghurt. I like to then wrap my ThermoServer in a large blanket and place it into a warm room (I use the laundry). The longer the yoghurt is left out of the fridge, the more acidic it will taste. I find that 12 hours is perfect (if you live in a hot climate, 8-10 hours is probably sufficient).
Store In An Airtight Container In The Fridge
The yoghurt will continue to thicken up to 24 hours after it's refrigerated.
Doubling The Recipe

Seriously so happy to make this ! So simple and delicious, easy to have long life milk on hand whenever I need to make it. I’ve just experimented with adding jam instead of sugar for extra flavouring, can’t wait to see how it turns out!

This made the most amazing yoghurt! I used my electric yoghurt maker and it set perfectly! Not too sweet and with just the right amount of tang! Thank you!
