Keto Homemade Greek Yogurt

This wonderful Keto yogurt recipe is extremely easy to make, and it only takes about 15 minutes of your time. All you need is some milk and your favorite plain yogurt as a starter (choose plain whole milk yogurt with active cultures). The result is a beautiful, creamy Greek yogurt that pairs perfectly with various Keto-friendly dishes. We recommend full-fat milk for this recipe because skim milk will give you a thinner yogurt. You can serve it as plain Greek yogurt or add sugar-free flavorings of your choice. You can also add some sweetener according to your taste and serve the yogurt with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

What type of yogurt to use?

Use your favorite brand of plain milk yogurt with active live cultures.

How long does it take to prepare this Keto homemade Greek yogurt?

You will have a thick yogurt in about 10-12 hours. However, this will also depend on the temperature outside. On a warm summer day, you will need about 8-10 hours to get the results you want. If it's cold outside, it will take about 15 hours to get a thick yogurt.

18 h 10 min

  • Step 1

    Rinse the inside of a deep pot with ice-cold water. Add the milk and heavy cream. Mix well.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Heat the milk until the temperature reaches 80°C-95°C (180°F-200°F). Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Stir occasionally so the milk cools evenly.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add the yogurt to a small bowl. Pour in about ¼ cup of the chilled milk and mix well until completely smooth. Stir the yogurt mixture back into the remaining milk. Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 10-12 hours or until the yogurt is thick and tangy. Keep the pot in a warm place (do not refrigerate).
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    For a creamy Greek yogurt, place a colander over a bowl and line it with a piece of cotton gauze. Pour the yogurt into the colander and refrigerate for about 5-6 hours. Keep an eye on it, and when it looks thick enough, transfer it to a jar.

  • Step 5

    When done, taste and optionally add some sweetener or different sugar-free flavorings. Serve the yogurt immediately or store it for later. It pairs perfectly with some chopped nuts or seeds.
