Does anyone know of a creamy, pudding like yogurt that doesn't have that tang? For now I am using the pill form of lactobacillus, and acidopholous.

:Wave-Hello: Hello to you! I've been crawling the boards since yesterday afternoon. In the past I used to make my own yogurt. It's really easy--with the right help, milk wants to be yogurt! I heated milk to the right temp. I think about 110 degrees, add about 1/2 cup of powdered milk and a tablesoon or so of good yogurt, for thickness, wrap it and put it in a cooler for several hours or more, depending on how sharp you want it. I usually would take it out when it had "yoged" and was still pretty mild. It won't be as thcik as the commercial brands that have gelatin in them, but it's fine. I would also make lovely cheese with it, straining it for a day or so, if I remember correctly, in a strainer lined with a coffee filter. It made a very mild, semi-fim cheese, somewhat like cream cheese. Just like the yogurt, you can add whatever you like. I started doing it about 30-35 years ago, when we had more kids than money. I should start again, DH and I love it and it's so expensive. Thanks for the poke! Linda :Poke:
