This is the Instant Pot Yogurt Mexican Style paired with fresh colorful fruit

We are enjoying this Instant Pot Yogurt Mexican Style. It is a homemade yogurt that is delicious and nutritious!

Instant Pot Yogurt with tropical fruits and honey

One of my mom’s best recipes was homemade yogurt. I have a recipe booklet handwritten by her and decided to make her recipe for plain yogurt but with a twist. I modernized the classic technique and made an Instant Pot Yogurt Mexican Style.

The main ingredients for this homemade yogurt are fresh whole cow’s milk, a plain yogurt with active cultures (preferably Greek yogurt), and my mom’s secret ingredient for the creamiest yogurt ever: dry whole milk!

This is the step by step process on how to make the homemade yogurt with honey

Whole cow’s milk has added vitamins and minerals that help support healthy growth and development. Plus it is a good source of vitamins A, C, D, Calcium, Iron and Zinc.

The homemade yogurt we made today is creamy and the tartness it is just right. This yogurt is perfect for sweet and savory applications.

Origins of Yogurt

While the origins of homemade yogurt are unknown, some historical papers indicate that the tradition of making yogurt started in Mesopotamia around 5000 BC.

The milk fermentation was popular to preserve the dairy and make it easier to digest, as in those days pasteurization didn’t exist. When fermenting the milk, the lactose transforms into lactic acid, which is more easily digested by the body.

Preserve the yogurt in a mason jar tightly sealed. Pair it with seasonal fresh fruit for a colorful bowl.

In India, homemade yogurt combined with honey was called “food for Gods.” Nowadays, Turkey holds the highest consumption of yogurt in the world. Aside from the fact that the word “yogurt” means in Turkish thick tart milk.

Here in the United States yogurt is accessible and an easy breakfast item. Many eat yogurt with fruit, and it is perfect as a snack or for dessert too. Not to mention used in baking for making cakes and yummy treats such as ice cream.

Yummy platter with dragon fruit, peaches, raspberries, grapes, papaya, mango, star fruit, and bananas.

Us Latinos love our homemade yogurt combined in licuados or smoothies and mixed with tropical fruits and juices. An excellent option for celebrating Hispanic Heritage month, while teaching our children about Latino Heritage and traditions.

How to Make Homemade Yogurt?

There are different techniques to make yogurt. My mom used to boil the fresh milk until getting a foam. Then she would wait until the milk was warm to the touch. Until then, she would add the live cultures and dry whole milk.

She would mix the milk with the rest of the ingredients by whisking. The next step was to pour the mixture into a glass container with a sealing lid. And she wrapped it with flannel or cloth.

The yogurt with fruit and honey is a perfect breakfast or a yummy snack

This glass container with the homemade yogurt mixture goes inside the oven, which was previously preheated and turned off to keep the warmth. This container would remain there for 12 hours or overnight.

The result is a fantastic homemade yogurt with a creamy texture and a tart flavor. Later on, my mom bought a yogurt machine to help the fermentation process to be quicker and nonetheless delicious.

Why use active live cultures when making the Instant Pot Yogurt?

Live active cultures are what you need for making yogurt, as well as whole pasteurized cow’s milk. These cultures are known as good bacteria. And their scientific name is lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus. Both when added to pasteurized milk turn into yogurt during fermentation.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage eating something sweet and fresh like this Instant Pot Yogurt Mexican Style

When crafting homemade yogurt, it is possible to use freeze-dried starter cultures or store-bought plain yogurt. You will need whole fresh cow’s milk and dry whole milk for added creaminess and nutrition.

Using the Instant Pot for making yogurt at home is the easiest way to achieve the best results. You do not need to temper the milk. Just combine the ingredients all together and set. The hardest part is to wait for the eight hours for the yogurt to incubate. And three hours more to cool inside the fridge.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage with us by making our delicious Instant Pot Yogurt Mexican Style!

I combined the yogurt with honey and paired it with seasonal fruit. It is an excellent addition to the breakfast menu, and you can include this yummy yogurt to the kid’s lunchbox to enjoy at school. Head over to Publix and buy all the ingredients today!
