What happens when you are sharing one yoghurt recipe that you just published in a book is that you create a recipe for a homemade thick keto yogurt that is so good it has to be shared as well.

Seriously I am not joking when I say that this recipe is unbelievably awesome. If you are asking what yogurt is keto, well this one certainly is. Not only is it a low carb yogurt but it has no crap in it and you can make so easily.

HOMEMADE THICK KETO YOGURT INGREDIENTS

This is most certainly an easy recipe with only 3-5 ingredients (or more) depending on how you flavour it. I am certain you are all going to love this homemade keto yogurt. The ingredients are simple and it is also so easy to make.

Sour Cream

Sour cream is lower in carbohydrates than Greek Yoghurt and gives the tanginess to our homemade keto yoghurt. It is cheap and usually resides in my fridge at least every week.

Thickened Cream or Heavy Cream

Another cheap and relatively low carb keto staple ingredient. High in healthy fats this help adds a creaminess to the yoghurt. You can easily adjust the ration of sour cream and cream in your homemade low carb yoghurt. Just add more sour cream if you like a real tang to your yoghurt.

Inulin

Many of us already have a shelf stable prebiotic in our keto pantry. That ingredient would be Inulin.

Did you know that Inulin can be used to make yogurt?

Inulin has a host of claimed health benefits, like relieving constipation, improving heart health, control diabetes, weight loss and so many more. Here is a great article to help explain more of the benefits of Inulin. To make your own keto Greek yogurt you are going to need a prebiotic or probiotic. So if you don’t have some inulin in your pantry then pop out and get some, or use a probiotic (more information below).

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE THICK KETO YOGHURT IN A THERMOMIX

To be honest I just used the automated fermentation on the TM6 for my pot set sugar free yogurt recipe. This is the thickest Themomix yoghurt recipe I have seen that is for sure.

I mixed the sour cream and cream with 1 teaspoon of inulin. I used the very gorgeous glass jars (suited for yoghurt) from The Mix Shop.

Into half the jars I spooned some Natvia Sugar Free Jam and then I used a funnel and poured in the yoghurt mix. I fermented at 70℃ for 10 hours. The yoghurt is perfectly thick and creamy.

Let’s just sit back and admire just how thick that is!

HOW TO MAKE KETO YOGURT AT HOME

Yeah yeah! I know most of you don’t have a Thermomix® but honestly anyone can make this.

So if you have a yoghurt incubator, a heat mat, a dehydrator, or I am sure most of you have an oven right?

Ferment the yoghurt for 10 hours in the oven with the oven light on to help keep the temperature. Do not open the oven door during this time. Extra time is fine. I have fermented mine up to 16 hours. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before using.

IS THIS THE BEST KETOGENIC YOGURT?

Well I sure as shit think so at the moment. It’s funny as I am a huge Greek yogurt fan, but I kind of love the creaminess of this yogurt so much. I am already excited with some recipe possibilities with this recipe and I will be in the kitchen tomorrow trialling a crazy idea I have. If it works I can see a very popular Christmas keto recipe (and beyond) being launched later in the week.

    Can you just leave in the TM6 bowl and turn to fermentation mode instead of pouring into jars?

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      You can if you have the Tm6 but it sets in the pots and will be agitated in the bowl.

    5 stars
    Yummmmmm
    I did ferment for 16 hours and after a while in the fridge this turned out so thick and creamy.
    It was confusing however when I tried to increase the portions and while the cup volumes increased the weights in brackets stayed the same. For this reason although I wanted 8 portions (the more the better!) I think I only got 6😔
    I put keto lemon curd in the base of a few…to die for.

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      I am so happy you enjoyed it Tara. Thanks for taking the time to come back and leave a review too xx

  3. Daneeta

    Hi Megan, does this work using a basic Easiyo yoghurt maker please?

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      It will but just make sure to chill well afterwards before serving it will thicken in the fridge.

  4. Janet

    Thanks Megan. After about 12 hours in the fridge it was thicker. However it was about the consistency of Greek yogurt and a little thinner on the bottom. It certainly was not as thick as the ones in your picture. But it was great! I’m going to try it again and perhaps whip the ingredients a little to see if I can get the whipping cream to thicken the mixture. Thanks for your help. By the way I love all your recipes. I’ve tried a lot of them with great success!

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      That is good to hear Janet. You could add a little gelatin to thicken when you combine it to see how that goes but yes whipping it will make it thicker. It is hard with so many cream variations across the globe to get everything 100%. I am so happy you are enjoying the recipes and I hope you find loads more to enjoy in the future.

  5. Janet

    Three questions
    I’m writing from Canada so I am not familiar with the term thickened cream? I used whipping cream which is 35% fat and pourable. It does not have any gelatin in it as someone referred to in another part of this question and answer.

    Question two in the pictures where it says whisk in or use a hand mixer to stir in the inulin and probiotics it looks like the mixture is beaten to form soft peaks, is that required? I did not do that I simply whisked in the ingredients and it was still like thick cream when I put it in the oven.

    Third question when I took it out of the oven (11h later) it was still liquid completely as it was when I put it in. I don’t think it will thicken to the proportions you show in your pictures by just it. I’ll update after it’s cool.

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      I would use the whipping cream. Stirring in is fine for the inulin and probiotics. It thickens when it cools. How did it go?

  6. Lauren

    Hi. I have pre or probiotic capsules that I have to keep in fridge. Will they work?

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      Hi Lauren, yes they will. Just empty the contents of them into the mixture.
