Have you been looking for a Plant Based Yogurt that isn’t full of preservatives and a bunch of unnecessary ingredients? Well then, this is the recipe for you. It is super easy and only requires 2 ingredients! This soy yogurt is great to have for breakfast with some fresh berries and a sprinkling of flax meal to get your day started. Making this yogurt in the Instant Pot makes it even one level easier.
Ingredients
1 liter of Unsweetened Soy Milk
Very important: Soy Milk needs to be just soybeans and water, no added ingredients or yogurt will not work ( Westsoy or Trader Joe's brand )
4 dairy free acidophilus tablets
Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions
- Pour soy milk into blender
- Add acidophilus tablets
- Gently mix on a low setting
- If not using a blender then gently whisk acidophilus into the soy milk
- Pour mixture into sterile mason jars and screw on lids
- Place jars into Instant Pot
- Close Instant Pot lid and push the yogurt button
- When finished remove jars from Instant Pot and place in the refrigerator
- Will last in fridge for about a week
Conventional Instructions
- Preheat oven to the lowest temperature setting
- Once preheated, turn oven off and turn oven light on
- Pour soy milk into a saucepan
- Heat soy milk up to 108° ( hot but not hot enough to burn you) and take off of heat
- Add acidophilus tablets and gently whisk
- Pour mixture into sterile mason jars
- Place jars onto a cookie sheet and put in the oven for 8 hours
- After the 8 hours, remove from oven, screw on lids and place into the fridge
- Save 1/2 cup of the yogurt for your next batch. It will be the starter instead of the acidophilus.

I am not a fan of soy. Could I make this with a high quality almond milk?
I haven’t had much luck using other milks. Especially because most of them have added ingredients, stabilizers, emulsifiers and such.
Thank you for this video. I noticed in the video you said you keep 1/2 of cup of yogurt for the next batch. So do we just add the liter of soy milk with that 1/2 cup of yogurt? Do you will still add the capsules?
Yes, you just use the 1/2 cup of yogurt as the starter instead of the capsules. =)
How do you sterilize the jars and what size Instant Pot do you use? Thanks
I just pour boiling hot water over the jars and then let them drip dry before I use them. I have an 8 quart Instant pot
How many jars and how many ounces each?
I use three pint size jars which are 16 oz each.
Yes details please
Hi, Thanks for the preparation tips. My IP manual says to add 2 cups of water to the pot and place the jars on the steamer rack. Is your IP a newer model where this step is not necessary?
I learned how to do this from a friend of mine and so far it is working wonderfully without the water. I didn’t look in the Instant Pot manual though.
Could I use my home made oat mik. It’s just oats and water. The Almond milk I have available in my town has the thickeners in it.
I tried making it with my home made oat milk and it wouldn’t set up.
How many hours in instantpot?
The yogurt setting on mine automatically goes for 10 hours.
