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!

Glass Regular Mouth Mason Jars, 8 Ounce Glass Jars with Silver Metal Airtight Lids for Meal Prep, Food Storage, Canning, Drinking, for Overnight Oats, Jelly, Dry Food, Spices, Salads, Yogurt (6 Pack)
- 4 1/2 cups ultra pasteurized whole milk
- 2 teaspoons yogurt starter such as store bought plain yogurt with live active cultures
- 6 tablespoons sugar sweetened condensed milk, or sweetener for low carb version*
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 9 tablespoons [1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon] pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling
- 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup water
Pour water into Instant Pot and add the trivet.
Mix all ingredients (except the water) together very thoroughly and distribute evenly into 6, 8 ounce mason jars or ramekins (It's just a little more than 3/4 cup each). Cover with plastic wrap or foil.
Stack jars or ramekins evenly onto the trivet.
Close the lid, turn the knob to Venting.
Press the Yogurt button and adjust to Normal. Then, adjust time to 6 hours.
Transfer the yogurt to the fridge and chill at least 8 hours or overnight, then serve.
*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. 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.
