Recipe Tips:
- Yogurt stays nice and thick when mixed by hand instead of using a mixer.
- It may look jiggly but once it’s chilled, it will set.
- Let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before covering it with plastic wrap and let it chill overnight in the refrigerator.
- It can take up to 12 hours for the texture and flavor to completely set in.
- The longer it chills the better it tastes.
