2. Steps to make creamy non-drippy upside-down yogurt at home
Step 1: Prepare the milk mixture

- Use the same condensed milk can to measure and fill it with boiling water, then pour directly into the milk pot.
- However, avoid adding too much water to this mixture as it will make the yogurt too sour.
Step 2: Heat the mixture
- Heat the mixture from step 1 over low heat, when the milk boils for about 30 seconds, turn off the heat. Stir the mixture constantly during heating.
Step 3: Incorporate yogurt
- Let the mixture cool to about 40°C. Then add plain yogurt to the milk mixture, stir gently. (Ensure the yogurt is at room temperature and well-stirred, not clumpy before adding to the milk pot).
- Pour the mixture into glass jars, proceed to incubate.

Yogurt Incubation
You can incubate using a rice cooker or an insulated cooler.
- Method 1: Incubate upside-down yogurt using a rice cooker
+ Place the yogurt jars in the rice cooker, then pour warm water at 40-50°C into the cooker until it reaches 2/3 of the yogurt jars.
+ Close the rice cooker lid, incubate for 6-8 hours. Every 2 hours, check the water temperature, if it's cool, turn on the 'Warm' mode for about 15 minutes then unplug to ensure better yogurt incubation.
- Method 2: Incubate upside-down yogurt using an insulated cooler
+ Place the yogurt jars in a container filled with water at 40 - 50°C so that the water covers 2/3 of the jars, then cover the container with a lid and incubate for about 6-8 hours until the yogurt is set.
+ Note: Occasionally check the water temperature during incubation!
Finished product: After making upside-down yogurt, the resulting yogurt is soft, smooth, dense, non-drippy, and visually appealing. It tastes fragrant, creamy, and even better when served chilled!
3. Tips for successfully making upside-down yogurt
- The first important thing is to sterilize the yogurt-making utensils. Sterilization method: soak the utensils in boiling water for about 30-40 seconds, then remove and let them air dry naturally, do not wipe dry with a cloth or paper towel.
- Yogurt should be incubated at a temperature maintained between 40-43°C to achieve the desired thickness. Avoid temperatures exceeding 54°C as it will kill the bacteria.
- Avoid moving the yogurt during the fermentation process, as it will affect the yogurt's thickness.
- Use homemade yogurt as starter culture because it contains natural bacteria, making the process of making upside-down yogurt easier and more successful.
4. Amazing health benefits of yogurt
Following the information on how to make smooth and creamy upside-down yogurt above, let's explore the amazing health benefits of this dish.
- Provides a large amount of beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifido Bacterium), ensuring digestive system health, and boosting immunity.
- Yogurt is highly effective in restoring the balance of bacteria in the gut, especially in cases of overuse or misuse of antibiotics.
- Improves digestion, relieves bloating, and promotes satiety.
- For individuals suffering from diarrhea or loss of appetite, consuming yogurt helps restore the balance of gut bacteria and the antibiotic substance lactocidine present in yogurt aids in treating diarrhea. Yogurt is easily digestible, making it very suitable for picky eaters.
- Note: Yogurt should only be consumed after meals, as beneficial bacteria in yogurt thrive at a pH greater than or equal to 4.5. When hungry, the pH in the stomach is only around 2, so consuming yogurt at this time will destroy the beneficial bacteria in yogurt.
