FIVE:AM Vanilla Bean Yoghurt

[Merlin]

Coud you not just make plain yoghurt eg Easiyo system natural yoghurt and add vanilla bean paste eg Queens or Helilala?

When I make yogurt and want a decadent creamy one I add cream to the finished mix along with any flavourings.  I would add the seed of a vanilla bean along with the cream and voila a very creamy rich yogurt, with a lot of calories

Oh i'd love a thick and creamy vanilla yoghurt recipe... would anybody be able to share? I dislike plain natural yoghurt. Kids love store bought yoghurt. I am trying to make a nice creamy vanilla yoghurt that perhaps i can set in baby food jars to send to school with them?? Anybody got any suggestions? Cheers

creedy04, if you search for yoghurt there are a number of threads which will give you ideas. I really only make a greek style yoghurt using a cheeselinks starter and once set straining for a few hours to give a very thick creamy consistency. Every morning for breakfast in the car on the way to school, DD puts a few tablespoons of the thick yoghurt, some raspberries or blueberries (frozen which have been thawed) a little honey and a few spoons of cranberry crumble muesli and she swears by it. she has only even been a bought yoghurt eater and since finding this combination she is addicted.

I'm sure if you strained the yoghurt and added some vanilla/honey it would be lovely, but I'm not sure if you would get the same consistency by just setting in small jars.

  I just tried to visit this but a I'm not on Facebook it wouldn't let me in to see it.

Could you perhaps post what you did here?  Or upload your video to YouTube ?

Hi knitter cook,  when you say 'to the finished mix' do you mean the mx you're going to turn into yogurt, or do you mean the finished yogurt please?  I'd like to give this a go.

I am working on a vanilla bean scented yoghurt at the moment…so stay tuned…could be the answer to all your dreams! (but you should dream bigger if that is true!)
 

I know this is an old post but wondering if you have come up with a recipe?

I'm not sure if Tenina has this. You could check on her blog Tenina.com there are lots of lovely recipes on there.
It may be in her new book too, it is just being completed now I think so will be available later in the year.
