What is dry yogurt?

Dry yogurt is effectively dehydrated yogurt.
Say what? Well, according to ThinkUSA Dairy, “There is no standard of identity for yogurt powders, but generally, they are made from cultured milk. They are typically manufactured using skim milk that is pasteurized. After pasteurization, the milk is cooled to incubation temperature (40-43C) and yogurt cultures are added.”
How do you make dry yogurt?
You can achieve dehydrating yogurt in a few different ways. They have presses made especially for this, which are similar to tofu presses if you have one handy.
If you don’t have a press, consider that you’ll need something that you can stack on top of the yogurt in the bowl to apply pressure.

Often, you mix the yogurt with a fruit powder or food coloring. Then, you place it in a bowl lined with a cheesecloth or paper towel, depending on the technique you choose.

Transport your setup to your refrigerator and check in on it after two days to assess if it’s ready. Consistencies in videos vary, with some describing it as a cream cheese spread-like consistency while others describe it a bit closer to a thicker peanut butter.
