From basic yogurt, a slight twist will introduce you to a new and wonderfully delicious dish. Refer to this guide on making fruit yogurt to savor a delightful treat.
Making fruit yogurt is a simple joy. To create delicious batches of fruit yogurt, start by preparing basic yogurt.
1. Basic Yogurt Making Recipe
Ingredients for Basic Yogurt Making:
- Fresh milk: 1 liter (using non-pasteurized type is delicious due to the creamy layer on the surface, providing a rich and aromatic taste);
- Sweetened condensed milk: 200g (I usually prefer the white can over the red one for better flavor);
- Yogurt starter culture: 200g (about 2 containers) kept at room temperature.
Follow these steps for making basic yogurt at home:
Step 1: Mix condensed milk and fresh milk, whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into a pot and heat until it starts bubbling around the edges, then turn off the heat. The temperature should be around 80 degrees Celsius. Let the milk cool to about 30 degrees Celsius, then add the yogurt starter and mix well by hand.
Step 2: Scoop the milk into sanitized jars for incubation. Use a water bath with 6 parts hot water and 4 parts cold water. You can use a rice cooker or a foam box for incubation (pour water until it reaches halfway up the jars).
Step 3: Place the jars in the incubator, cover with a lid, and place a newspaper on top before closing the lid. No need to plug in any electricity. If using a microwave for incubation, preheat it for a while, then place the jars inside, close the door tightly. The incubation time varies depending on the weather but usually takes around 8-12 hours to meet the requirements.

Step 2: Making Fruit Yogurt
Step 2: How to Prepare Fruit Yogurt
Take the just-made yogurt mixture out. For instance, during summer, let it incubate for 8 hours to get a thick yogurt base. People can take the mixture at around 6 hours of incubation to make fruit yogurt.
Take a ripe or green mango, cut it into small pieces like pomegranate seeds. Soak it in sugar for about 15 to 20 minutes, then put it on the stove to simmer with a bit of filtered water. Simmer until the water evaporates, and the sugar and mango blend together. Let it cool.
Note the timing so that when the mango cools, the yogurt sets for about 6-7 hours, which is ideal. At this point, the yogurt mix should be on the verge of solidifying.
Mix the mango-infused sugar into the yogurt mixture that has been set aside and scoop it into individual jars. Leave it outside for an additional 2 hours to let the yogurt firm up, then refrigerate.
Enjoy the delightful and unique mango-flavored yogurt creation.
