Homemade Vanilla Yogurt - Ninja Foodie

Pour the milk into the pot. Assemble the pressure lid, making sure the pressure release valve is in the vent position. Press slow cook/yogurt twice so yogurt appears on the display. Set time to 8 hours and select start/stop to begin. After the milk has boiled, the display will read cool. Note that this process can take several hours. Once cooled, the unit will beep and display ADD AND STIR. Remove pressure lid. Add plain yogurt and whisk until fully incorporated. Install the pressure lid. (valve may be in VENT or SEAL position) and press START/STOP to begin incubation process. After incubating is complete (8 hours later), transfer the yogurt to a glass container or bowl, cover and chill for a minimum of 8 hours in the refrigerator. Once yogurt has cooled add the vanilla and honey (if using) and stir until well combined. Cover and place the glass bowl back in the refrigerator or divide the yogurt among airtight glass jars. Yogurt may be refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Tip - if you prefer a thicker, greek style yogurt, strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth overnight in the fridge (be sure to place it over large mixing bowl while draining)
