Steps to Make Fruit Yogurt Pouches

Step 1: Mixing and Fermenting Yogurt Mixture

• Use a pot to mix 300ml of warm water (about 70°C) with condensed milk, stirring vigorously for 2 minutes until the condensed milk dissolves. Then add yogurt and continue stirring for 1 more minute to blend the yogurt with the condensed milk and water.

• Next, use a larger pot and place the yogurt pot inside it, remember to cover the yogurt pot with a lid. Then heat 2 liters of water to 70°C and pour it into the larger pot so that the water reaches halfway up the yogurt pot. Cover the larger pot and ferment for 8 hours, remembering to check and replace the water if its temperature decreases.

Step 2: Preparing the Fruit

Step 3: Marinating and Cooking the Mixed Fruit Mixture

• For each type of pureed fruit, add 50g of sugar, mix well, and let it sit for 30 minutes for the sugar to dissolve and distribute evenly.
• Heat a pan over a flame, add the passion fruit. Stir constantly for about 10 minutes until the passion fruit thickens. Then transfer to a bowl and let cool.
• Repeat the same process for the strawberry puree and kiwi puree.

Step 4: Filling the Bags with Fruit

• Use 2 pastry bags and fill each with the 3 types of fruit.
• Cut a small corner at the bottom of the pastry bag and squeeze the fruit into the yogurt-filled bags.

Step 5: Making Fruit Yogurt Bags

• After fermenting for 8 hours, gently stir the yogurt. To make it easier and avoid spills, pour the yogurt into a wide-mouthed glass for filling the bags.
• Do not overfill the bags with yogurt, leave about 3cm at the top, then tightly seal the bags with rubber bands. Repeat until all the yogurt is used up.

Step 6: Completion

Ingredients

- 380 grams of condensed milk - 2 packets of sweetened fresh milk, equivalent to 440ml - 2 cans of unsweetened yogurt - 10 grams of gelatin powder - Assorted fresh fruits: strawberries, mangoes, kiwis, apples, oranges, bananas...

Method for Making Stretchy Mixed Fruit Yogurt

Step 1: Pour condensed milk into a clean bowl, add 500 – 550 ml of hot water at around 70 degrees Celsius, stir until the milk dissolves. Then add fresh milk and yogurt, stirring until the mixture is evenly dissolved.

Step 2: Use a fine mesh sieve to ensure a smooth, elastic mixture.

Step 3: Pour yogurt into a small pot, then place the yogurt pot into a larger pot. Pour hot 70-degree Celsius water into the larger pot so that the water level is about halfway up the yogurt pot. Cover the pot and use a thin cloth to cover the top. Place the pot outside in the hot sun to ferment for about 6-8 hours.

Step 4: Clean and cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5: For a creamier yogurt, utilize gelatin to enhance its texture. Mix gelatin with 2 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes. You can either microwave or steam the gelatin until it melts.

Step 6: Incorporate the gelatin mixture into the prepared yogurt. Then pour the mixture into a large mold. Arrange fresh fruits on top of the yogurt and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until the yogurt sets.

Guide to Making Fruit Yogurt Drinks

Similar to the usual fruit yogurt recipe, the steps to make fruit yogurt drinks don't require much expertise. You just need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Cooking the yogurt mixture and fermenting it using a foam cooler

• Mix together fresh milk + condensed milk + 1 liter of hot water at about 70 degrees in a pot, use a spoon to stir the mixture well until it blends smoothly. 
• Next, pour 2 cans of plain yogurt into the mixture. Gently stir until the yogurt dissolves evenly and there are no lumps. 
• Wrap the yogurt pot tightly with plastic wrap.
• Place this yogurt pot in a foam cooler, add hot water at about 70 degrees to the bottom of the cooler so it reaches halfway up the yogurt pot. 
• Cover the foam cooler tightly with its lid, ferment for about 12 hours until the yogurt sets. During fermentation, remember to check and replace the hot water to ensure the yogurt ferments properly. 

Step 2: Creating fruit yogurt drinks using fruit jams

What should be noted when making fruit yogurt?

• Always ensure cleanliness and sterilization of all yogurt-making utensils. The simplest and most effective sterilization method is to soak them in boiling water for about 1 minute, then air dry completely.
• Do not move or shake the yogurt pot/container vigorously during the fermentation process, or the yogurt may easily separate.
• When buying plain yogurt for fermentation, pay attention to the production date, always choose products closest to the production date. The reason is that the fresher the yogurt culture, the better the yogurt will taste and the higher the quality.
• The key to delicious fruit yogurt lies in the fermentation process. The ideal temperature for yogurt fermentation is 32-48 degrees Celsius. However, depending on the fermentation method, the temperature may vary. For example, when fermenting with boiling water, using a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius is reasonable because the water temperature will gradually decrease to just enough.
• If the plain yogurt is stored in the refrigerator, it should be taken out to room temperature for about 1 hour before making yogurt to prevent shock to the microorganisms.
• When mixing ingredients, gently stir in one direction, avoiding clumps, and avoid stirring too vigorously.
• Choose milk with high protein and fat content for a thicker end product.
• For colorful fruit yogurt, choose a variety of fruits with vibrant colors such as orange, strawberry, blueberry... Make sure to select fresh, undamaged, and pest-free fruits.
