Pressure Cooker Yogurt in an Instant Pot
Making pressure cooker yogurt is fun and easy to do! Make this Instant Pot yogurt recipe and enjoy it for breakfast, snacks, or in recipes that call for yogurt.
Today I’m featuring a pressure cooker recipe from Tidbits. Cami is a busy mom who shares a little bit of this and a little bit of that on Tidbits, including craft and decorating ideas, photograph tips, and of course recipes.
Cami is the sister of a long time Pressure Cooker Reader, Marci. Marci shared her pressure cooker yogurt with me, and I’ve been meaning to make it. Then Marci not only shared her pressure cooker yogurt recipe with her sister, but also let Cami borrow her Instant Pot pressure cooker so she could make the Instant Pot yogurt recipe.
How to Make Pressure Cooker Yogurt in an Instant Pot
Cami fell in love with the Instant Pot and Marci’s yogurt recipe, and shared the recipe with her readers on Tidbits. Cami gave a shout out to Pressure Cooking Today in the post because Marci told her how much she likes my site. (Thanks Marci!)
When I saw all the beautiful pictures Cami had posted of her yogurt, and how easy the yogurt is to make in the Instant Pot, I immediately wanted to share it with my readers as well.
Update: Since I first shared this post, Cami and Marci have created a whole new section of Tidbits devoted to food. (For Home and DIY, visit Cami side of Tidbits.)
Marci recently updated her yogurt post with great new pictures and more tips and tricks for making great yogurt in the Instant Pot.
Making Yogurt in an Instant Pot
You can make yogurt in other pressure cookers, but the instructions for this recipe are specifically for the Instant Pot. If you have never used an Instant Pot before, read my Instant Pot review posts to learn about all of the features!
Try topping your homemade yogurt with this Goji Berry and Date Granola made by Sara of Crunchy Cove Artisan Granola. Marci says it’s the best granola she has ever had! I can’t wait to try it.

I have the “Power Quick Pot” (not “Instant Pot”). I don’t know if you can help me but here’s my problem: I attempted Greek yogurt for the first time today. When I set it to Yogurt setting, it defaults to 7:00 (which I assume means 7 hours). I can change it to 9 or 10, but no matter, it keeps switching to “Cool” after about 1/2 hour. I’ve been resetting it all day! I cannot find a helpful link to the manual. Any insight?
Hi Donna – I don’t have any experience making yogurt in the Power Quick Pot, but I assume it works similarly to the Instant Pot where you first heat your milk, cool your milk and then add your starter and let it set – https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-yogurt/ So maybe it’s just taking you through the steps.
All the recipes I see on YouTube for Instant Pot Yogurt seem to be a different model than the Instant Pot I have. Mine has a Yogurt button but not the “Normal” setting they show as to make sure it is set there. I have the Duo Evo Plus and when I hit the Yogurt button I get Pastuerize as a feature. I don’t think I want that but not sure what to do! Why is this so complicated???? It’s just yogurt! I poured in my Fairlife milk, yogurt starter and condensed milk. Now I have a mess because I have no idea how to make this work. So frustrating!
Hi Dina – the Duo Evo Plus instructions for yogurt are included in my review post https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/instant-pot-duo-evo-plus-review/ With the cold start yogurt ingredients you’re using, you’ll skip down to fermet.
For those of us who are lactose intolerant but love yogurt will this recipe work with lactose free 2% milk or what adjustments would need to be made? Thanks!
Hi Sharon – I would use this method for lactose-free yogurt https://cookingwithkarli.com/instant-pot-yogurt/

I just made my first batch of yogurt. I used 1/2 gal Fairlife whole milk, 2 tbsp. fage 2% yogurt and 3/4 can sweetened condensed milk. Hit yogurt button for 8 hours. After 8 hours, I placed the pot in fridge for 5 hours. Then added some vanilla extract and stirred. Perfect!
Hi, Is it possible to make homemade nonfat greek yogurt in the IP? I make smoothies everyday, but I use Fage nonfat greek yogurt. I’d love to be able to make my own if possible.
Would like to make yogurt in a ppcxl, but I haven’t seen any recipes. How can I make some?
Thanks
I just got my instant pot & trying to make yogurt with some fresh cows milk.
I poured the milk into the pot & suddenly realized I don’t have a “yogurt” feature on my model (IP-LUX60).
Dang it!! Can’t find any info on making yogurt in this model, so I hit “soup”, and 10 minutes later I walked into the kitchen with milk shooting out of the vent!
Just turned it off & trying the “manual” feature for 5 minutes to scald the milk.
Anyone know what I should set it on to achieve yogurt? HELP!
Threse, Making yogurt in the LUX60 is possible, but not quite as simple. If you’re wanting to make yogurt often, I’d see if you could trade your pot for the one with the yogurt function. However, if that’s not an option, here’s a link I found that will show you how to do it in your LUX60 https://www.copymethat.com/r/3nkQVaG/yogurt-in-a-lux-instant-pot/ I’ve never done it, but many have done it successfully! Good Luck!
I make this recipe almost weekly. It’s fantastic and so easy. Thanks for sharing.
I just got an instant pot and am excited to give yogurt a try this afternoon!
Hi Rachael – great! Enjoy your Instant Pot.
Hi can this work with electric pressure cookers without the yoghurt button? How would this recipe differentiate? Thanks
I haven’t tried it, but here’s a recipe that should work for you http://maomaomom.com/yogurt-diy/
I made this yogurt this week with my new Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. It is delicious! I have drizzled it with honey and topped with granola, paired with peach butter, and, also, with cherry preserves on the side. It’s really good and I like that I can decide on the sweetness by choosing a side, if desired. I’ve made crockpot yogurt many times with success, but this was much easier.
Thanks Jean! So glad you’re enjoying your Instant Pot.
I popped over here to grab your cafe rio sweet pork recipe – and was surprised to see this! Ha! I had forgotten it was Wednesday 😉 Thank you much Barbara! I appreciate all the kind words and your willingness to share. Now on to the pork!
Thanks so much for your beautiful, well-written post. I can’t wait to give the yogurt a try.
