How to thicken yogurt


Description

How to thicken soupy store bought yogurt into Greek or Skyr style yogurt.


Ingredients

Scale

1 or more 32 ounce tubs of store bought yogurt. Can be plain or flavored, but not anything with added fruit.


Instructions

  1. Place your yogurt evenly layered in the mesh basket, and place inside the large, clear, plastic bowl. This assumes you’re using the big 2 pound container of yogurt and not the individual packages. 
  2. Snap the lid in place. Almost immediately the whey will start dripping into the bottom of the bowl. 
  3. Place covered bowl in the fridge over night and remove in the morning to reveal perfectly strained yogurt. 
  4. Place thickened yogurt into a container and pop back into the fridge. I like these glass meal prep containers (affiliate link) that I use for freezing leftovers as well.

 


Notes

I have written this blog post assuming you’ll use a Euro Cuisine yogurt strainer. (affiliate link) There are others on the market, but I don’t have experience with them. I use this one personally so I feel comfortable recommending them.
