Small Pot

Mixing Spoon
Container with Lid
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Sweetener to taste (e.g., stevia, monk fruit)
In a small pot, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it reaches 180°F (about the temperature of hot tea). This eliminates unwanted bacteria. Stir occasionally but don’t boil.
Remove from heat and let the cream cool down to about 110°F, or just warm to the touch.
Mix in the two tablespoons of Greek yogurt until smooth. The live cultures in the yogurt will help turn the cream into yogurt.
Pour the mixture into a clean container, cover it loosely, and place it in a warm spot (like an oven with the light on) for 8-12 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier the yogurt will become.
Once thickened, refrigerate for a few hours to allow it to fully set. Add vanilla extract and your preferred sweetener, stirring until combined.
Enjoy plain or with keto-friendly toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh berries.
