2-layer Pumpkin Yogurt – Noosa Inspired

One mixture of this Simple Instant Pot yogurt recipe magically turns into 2 beautiful layers of sweet cream yogurt and spiced pumpkin for a sweet treat, inspired by my favorite Noosa Pumpkin Yogurt.

First and foremost, if you’ve never made Instant Pot yogurt before, you’re completely missing out! It’s so incredibly easy and seems intimidating, but it’s truly one of the easiest things you can make in your Instant Pot.

Instant Pot pumpkin yogurt

I LOVE Noosa’s pumpkin yogurt– it’s almost like dessert! Their yogurt has a layer of a pumpkin cream cheese mixture at the bottom, topped with their Australian yogurt on top.

It’s seriously so good- it has thousands of 5-star reviews on grocery websites!

If you ever find it- you should definitely buy the Noosa pumpkin yogurt!

I love it so much, I wanted to try making something similar. So I experimented a little bit and created my own individual pumpkin yogurt recipe.

The best part about this yogurt (besides the fact you made it yourself!!) is that you can completely control the amount of sugar and spice you put in it. It really is one of my most favorite pumpkin dishes, and I’ve got a lot of ’em.

I’m looking at you, Instant Pot Pumpkin Rice Pudding, Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe (Instant Pot), and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal.

Ingredients and supplies for pumpkin yogurt

In addition to the 2 ingredients you need to make Simple Instant Pot Yogurt, you’ll need a couple more things to make your magical pumpkin yogurt:

• An Instant Pot with a Yogurt Setting (NOT an Instant Pot Lux)
• Mini Mason Jars or Ramekins
• Instant Pot Trivet or rack
• Ultra Pasteurized Milk (Whole milk Fairlife is best)
• Starter (pre-made yogurt with live active cultures- I use my previous batch of Instant Pot yogurt)
• Sugar or Sweetener
• Pumpkin Puree
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Vanilla
• Water

Low Carb Yogurt Option

I have made this recipe with wonderful results using white cane sugar, as well as stevia and monkfruit sweetener. I love using Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener and it is a delicious low carb alternative if you also use Fairlife milk.

The Lakanto brand sweetener is the best low carb sweetener I have used and I highly recommend it!

To make sure the yogurt is the sweetness you prefer, just give the milk mixture a little taste before you incubate it! I prefer to use a little less sugar in my yogurt, so you may add more to taste.

Check out my other low carb or Keto Instant Pot recipes– They are either all low carb or have low carb alternatives listed.

Individual Pumpkin Yogurt

I prefer to make my pumpkin yogurt in clear, individual mason jars so you can see the beautiful layers and have a pre-portioned serving. The visual is stunning!

If you prefer not to make this yogurt in jars, you may incubate in the Instant Pot liner just like my Instant Pot yogurt recipe. The layers will still form so you’ll have to scoop it out from the liner individually for best results.

I know you’ll love this Noosa Pumpkin yogurt copycat recipe! Let me know if you give it a try!

Two Layered Instant Pot Pumpkin Yogurt

This recipe was inspired by my favorite name-brand pumpkin yogurt that costs more for one serving than it does to purchase all the ingredients to make this recipe a dozen times. The yogurt magically separates into two distinct layers during incubation, creating a beautiful pumpkin layer on the bottom, topped with a delightful spiced yogurt. I’ve been known to enjoy this dish for dessert, it’s that good!
