| Here is a bowl of yogurt we just made using powdered milk. |
How To make homemade yogurt from powdered milk.
- This is easy, first you turn the powdered milk to liquid milk by adding water.
- We used 1 large (900g) pack of cowbell milk for this yogurt, got about a full 6 Litre gallon initially and it’s great.
- Mix with water, Boil, cool a bit and add unsweetened store bought yogurt because you need that CVC culture to convert this boiled milk to yogurt.
- The quantity of unsweetened yogurt we used here is just 500 ml. The boiled milk is
covered with towels and left till the following day and by the time we checked the next day, our yogurt was staring us in the face. This yogurt was sweetened with one cup granulated sugar before boiling because I need the kids to enjoy it.
When I make for adults, there is no need for sugar. This homemade powdered milk yogurt is thick, rich and delicious.
Honestly, this my Nigerian powdered milk yogurt here took longer than normal because we all wanted the fermented taste to be strong.
Too thick for me but that’s what they wanted and that’s how they ate theirs with spoons
With just these four ingredients, delicious yogurt is ready.
INGREDIENTS for powdered milk yogurt
We used
- Powdered milk (900g) Pack.
4 and 1/2 litres of water.
500ml store bought unsweetened yogurt.
1 cup granulated sugar.
PROCEDURE: How to make homemade powdered milk yogurt
- Gradually add water to powdered milk and continue to mix while adding the water to prevent lumps.
- Add sugar and stir if you want sweetened yogurt, if not, forget the sugar and just continue. Cover the pot and boil. When it starts to boil, let it continue to boil a bit more for about 5 minutes longer.
- Remove from heat, let it cool a bit for about 20 minutes before adding the store bought yogurt.
- Add the plain yogurt to hot milk and cover with towels. I removed the lid, and covered the pot with about three large towels, lol. Let it sit undisturbed till the next day.
5.Yogurt whey is proteinous and good for food too, we didn’t want to scoop and throw the whey away so we blended together to reduce this thickness and .also because for me, I like it a bit runny even though they prefer very thick yogurt.
By the following day, your yogurt is ready for food and refrigeration. You can scoop it out and enjoy. That’s all.
The only reason we continued from here is because my girls asked for a very fermented (sour) tasting yogurt. So, we had to empty it back into the pot and cover again with towels for another day and… You can see below what happened:
Yogurt thickened even more when we removed the towels the second time. Now the kitchen even has that authentic yogurt aroma and it’s nice.
Gently scooped out the homemade yogurt, leaving the water (whey) under the pot. Served and enjoyed while the rest is already resting in the fridge.

Enjoy!
The very first time that I made yogurt in my kitchen, the recipe was posted here and looking back now, even though that too tasted good, now I ask myself why did people even like that yogurt so much? For me, compared to this yogurt here, that was an apprentice type yogurt though delicious too. You can check it out by clicking below:
