1. Aloe Vera Yogurt
Ingredients:
- 8 large yogurt jars
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 aloe vera stalk
- 1 can of boiling water (use the condensed milk can for measurement)
- 250g of plain yogurt starter
- 2 cans of unsweetened fresh milk
Instructions:
- Step 1: Peel the green skin off the aloe vera, cut it into small, translucent pieces, and rinse them thoroughly with cold water.
- Step 2: Soak the aloe vera in a salty cold water mixture with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for 5 minutes to remove the slimy texture.
- Step 3: After 5 minutes, rinse the aloe vera several times until all the sliminess is gone.
- Step 4: Cut the aloe vera into small dice-sized pieces and rinse them in cold water a few more times.
- Step 5: Boil water, add the aloe vera, and blanch it for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Then, transfer the aloe vera to 200ml of ice water mixed with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Step 6: Let the aloe vera sit for 1-2 hours to absorb some sweetness. Then, drain it thoroughly.
- Step 7: Place the sweetened condensed milk in a clean bowl, add hot water, and stir until dissolved.
- Step 8: Next, add fresh milk and stir gently. Then, mix in the yogurt starter and continue stirring gently until well combined. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and add the aloe vera.
- Step 9: Pour the mixture into individual jars (either glass or plastic). Place these jars in a large pot or deep tray with a lid. (Once the yogurt mixture cools, transfer it into the jars and incubate them for 6-8 hours. For incubation, arrange the jars in a foam box lined with fabric, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and close the box lid. Check the temperature inside the box occasionally, ensuring it stays at 40-45°C, the ideal temperature for yogurt fermentation.)
- Step 10: Boil a kettle of water and let it cool for 7 minutes. Then, pour this hot water into the pot, ensuring the water level is about 1/3 of the jar height. Cover the pot and preheat your oven or microwave to 170°C for 4 minutes. After that, turn off the oven and place the pot with yogurt inside, leaving it undisturbed for about 7 hours to achieve smooth, fragrant aloe vera yogurt as desired.


2. Cocoa Jelly Yogurt
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of unsweetened fresh milk

- 1 can of yogurt starter
- 20g sheet gelatin

- Step 2: Heat the milk and condensed milk mixture to around 40°C, then add the yogurt and stir well.
- Step 3: Pour the mixture into cups and cover, letting it set overnight (you can use a yogurt maker or a rice cooker). Let it ferment for about 8 hours, then store it in the fridge.
- Step 4: Crush ice and place it at the bottom of each cup. Before serving, freeze the yogurt cups for 3-4 hours. Slice the yogurt into pieces and place them on top of the crushed ice. Sprinkle cocoa powder over each layer of yogurt until the cup is full. It's ready to enjoy!


3. Strawberry Flavored Jelly Yogurt
Ingredients:
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can of hot water (use the condensed milk can to measure the water)
- 2 cans of strawberry milk (use the condensed milk can to measure)
- 1 – 2 tubs of unsweetened yogurt (to use as starter)
- Strawberry flavoring
- A mixing bowl
- A pot
- Cups or glass/plastic jars for the yogurt
Instructions:
- Bước 1: Open the condensed milk and pour it into a large bowl. Use the condensed milk can to measure one can of hot water. Slowly pour the hot water into the condensed milk, stirring continuously until the milk is completely dissolved.
- Bước 2: Mix the yogurt with the milk mixture until the yogurt is fully dissolved. If you prefer a more sour taste, use 2 tubs of yogurt, otherwise, use only 1 tub. If the yogurt doesn't dissolve well, you can strain it through a sieve or mix it with a little milk first before adding the rest. Add a bit of strawberry flavoring for a pleasant aroma and appearance.
- Bước 3: Boil a large pot of water to use as a yogurt incubator. Choose a pot with a thick base to retain heat better. Boil the water until it simmers lightly at around 80ºC, then turn off the heat. If the water boils completely, let it cool down slightly before use as boiling water will cause the yogurt to curdle.
- Bước 4: Scoop the yogurt mixture into the prepared cups or jars. Place the jars into the warm water, ensuring the water covers about 2/3 of the jars. Cover the pot with a cloth and place it in a warm, dry place overnight or for 8-10 hours before serving.


4. Mango Yogurt
Ingredients:
- Unsweetened milk: 1 liter
- Sweetened condensed milk: 1 can
- Yogurt: 2 boxes, 60 grams each
- Ripe mangoes: 500 grams
Directions:
- Step 1: After purchasing ripe mangoes, wash them thoroughly and peel off the skin. Next, remove the pit and cut the flesh into three parts. Take 2/3 of the mango and blend it smoothly, then strain it to remove any fiber. Cut the remaining mango into small cubes. For this part, choose mango flesh from the stem end to ensure it has a firmer texture. Set aside the diced mango.
- Step 2: Pour 1 liter of unsweetened milk into a pot and heat it. Stir gently to avoid scorching. Once the milk is warm, add the sweetened condensed milk and stir until dissolved. Once the milk is fully mixed, turn off the heat but keep the milk warm. Then, add the yogurt into the pot and stir well to dissolve. Add the blended mango puree and the diced mango, mixing thoroughly.
- Step 3: Pour the mango yogurt mixture into jars or containers for incubation. Place the containers into a rice cooker and add warm water until it covers 2/3 of the jars. Close the lid and let the yogurt ferment for 6 to 8 hours. When it’s ready, the yogurt should have a pleasant natural sour taste and a smooth texture. At this point, you can take it out, add ice, or refrigerate it before serving.

8. Red Bean Yogurt
Ingredients:
- 300g red beans. Choose beans that are even in size, with no broken or discolored beans.

- 70g white sugar.
- Gelatin powder.
- Honey.
- Black jelly.
- Crushed ice.
Instructions:
- Step 1: Rinse the red beans thoroughly and soak them for 1-3 hours to soften, which will speed up the cooking process and make them more delicious. After soaking, transfer the beans to a pressure cooker, add water to cover them by about one finger's width, and cook for about 30-40 minutes until the beans soften. Once the beans are soft, add sugar and simmer for 1-2 minutes for the sugar to dissolve and infuse the beans. Adjust the sugar amount to your taste. Be sure to add sugar only when the beans are soft enough, as adding it earlier can make them tough. Turn off the heat and let the beans cool slightly with the lid open.
- Step 2: Prepare the gelatin powder according to the instructions on the package. Once set, cut the jelly into small, bite-sized pieces and refrigerate to chill.
- Step 3: Once the jelly is cold and the red beans have cooled down, assemble the dessert by layering red beans, jelly, and yogurt in a glass or cup. Add a little honey and crushed ice, then mix and enjoy!
