Homemade Yogurt
Yogurt has many purposes in this household of adoring fans, from an ingredient in baked goods, breakfast with granola and fruit, a popular addition to smoothies (related: Raspberry Orange Smoothies), to a healthy afternoon snack, and even using yogurt as a marinade for Tandoori Chicken – there isn’t a week that goes buy where I’m not adding another large container or two to our grocery cart.
I’m pleased to report that everyone else is absolutely right – yogurt is SUPER easy to make at home. Not that I doubted it, but it was great to give it a try myself and learn how simple the process is.
And it’s really nice because you can completely control the ingredients yourself. Organic, naturally sweetened, pure, delicious yogurt. Madeline is particularly partial to a generous drizzle of honey and fresh strawberries on a bowl of yogurt for her breakfast.
But you aren’t just controlling the ingredients. You have the ability to control the consistency of your yogurt. Personally, I like it on the thicker side and now I know just how to make it that way at home every time.
This Cuisipro Donvier® Electronic Yogurt Machine will make homemade yogurt such a breeze to make. All you need to do is heat the milk, add the yogurt culture, divide the mixture between the BPA-free plastic jars. Then you add the jars to the machine, set your timer (10 1/2 hours was perfect for me), place the lid on and plug it in. The machine does all the work for you.

I am always trying to learn how to make food on my own so it is fresh so I would love this product. It would give me the opportunity to make low-sugar yogurt for my kids.

I would love to try my own yogurt…I’m too intimidated to do it without a yogurt maker. Would love to make it w/less sugar for my girls.
Melinda says
I have had this on my Amazon wish list for about a year. Just haven’t gotten up the nerve to try making yogurt yet, but this would give me a kick in the pants!

I’m very picky about my yogurt so that would be perfect in getting the best yogurt for me! And my husband has granola and yogurt for breakfast every morning!
Rachel M. says
We buy yogurt weekly and use it almost daily! I would love to try the Cuisipro Donvier to be able to do it myself. I have been considering buying a yogurt maker. Winning this one would be even better!

I eat a lot of yogurt and recently I’ve been starting to make grocery items that I usually buy. Such as bread, salsa, and salad dressing. They usually taste great so I’m thinking that homemade yogurt would taste great as well!

I eat yogurt every day and would love to try making my own!
