Ingredients

½ gallon almond milk (homemade almond milk will come out thicker where store bought will come out thinner. All in the preference!)
2 Tbsp vegan gelatin (agar agar is my preference)
4 Tbsp arrowroot flour
3 Tbsp plain almond yogurt, with live active cultures

Instructions

Add the almond milk to your Instant Pot and close the lid. Press the yogurt mode button and continue pressing until it displays boil. After about 45 minutes, the milk should be about 180℉ (use a food thermometer to check). If it has not yet reached the temperature, press the saute mode button and stir continuously until 180℉ is reached. Remove the inner pot and place it in a larger pot or sink of cold water to cool down, until it reaches 115℉. Remove the inner pot from the cool water and skim and discard any skin that has formed on top of the milk.
In a small bowl, combine the vegan gelatin and arrowroot flour.
Add 1 cup of the 115℉ almond milk.
Whisk until the mixture is cohesive and free from any lumps. Return this mixture to the warm milk in the inner pot and stir well.
Place your starter vegan yogurt in a small bowl, then add 1 cup of the milk mixture from the instant pot.
Stir well until the mixture is cohesive and free from any lumps.
Return the yogurt mixture to the inner pot and whisk until fully combined, then return the inner pot back to the Instant Pot. Press the yogurt mode button and set the time to 12 hours. If you like a thicker yogurt, you can increase the time to 16 hours. Note: when the Instant Pot starts, it will not count down like pressure cooking, rather it will count up to your 12 or 16 hour setting.
After the cooking time has completed, transfer the inner pot to your refrigerator to cool for at least 6-8 hours. Enjoy your homemade almond milk yogurt topped with fruits, granola, agave nectar, and more!

Notes

SETUP: Before starting, it is very important to clean and sterilize all of your equipment, especially the ring in your Instant Pot. You could risk getting mold if it is not completely sterilized.
