Recipe Tips: 

1. Yogurt stays nice and thick when mixed by hand instead of using a mixer. 

2. It may look jiggly but once it’s chilled, it will set. 

3. Let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before covering it with plastic wrap and let it chill overnight in the refrigerator. 

4. It can take up to 12 hours for the texture and flavor to completely set in.
5. The longer it chills the better it tastes.
