Homemade Maple Yogurt Recipe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 quart whole milk
1/2 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons plain yogurt, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, at room temperature (optional)
3/4 teaspoon maple flavored extract

Preparation

Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Stir powdered milk and sugar into the hot milk until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool until an instant-read thermometer reads 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
Place yogurt in a bowl and add a small amount of warmed milk mixture; combine thoroughly. Pour yogurt mixture back into the saucepan with warmed milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly, until thoroughly blended. Add heavy cream and maple flavoring. Stir well to combine.
Pour milk-cream mixture into 7 individual serving jars. Process in a yogurt maker, according to manufacturer's instructions, for 8 hours. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
