Yo Baby Yogurt Copycat recipe.

I included this recipe at the very bottom of my yogurt post but oh.sweet.baby. this is so good. It's yogurt. No, it's dessert, no.... it's heaven. Heaven on a spoon. The cream rises to the top, the fruit is on the bottom and it's pure bliss in the middle. And, it's good for you. And SO much less expensive than buying it.

My son eats Stonyfield Farms YoBaby yogurt, and lots of it. It's organic, it's lower in sugar that other kids yogurts, it's creamy, it's good and it's expensive. So, I decided to come up with a copy cat recipe and let me tell you, I'd eat this over YoBaby any day, and it seems so would Dillon! Yaaay!

3 1/2 cups organic whole milk
1/2 cup organic heavy cream
1/4 cup natural sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix the above in a pot and heat, slowly, to 180 degrees on your stove (no hotter and don't allow to boil!).

Allow to cool to 110 degrees and stir in:

1/2 cup organic, unflavored room temperature yogurt (I use stonyfield farms, regular not yobaby since they don't sell yobaby individually.)

Pour into a preheated yogurt maker and allow to incubate at 110 degrees for about 6 hours.

Set out 8 five ounce (or whatever) containers with lids. Spoon in about a teaspoon of your favorite fruit puree.

Then, spoon in the yogurt put the lids on and put them in the refrigerator. You can do larger or smaller portion sizes. I made them about the same portion size as Yobaby is because I was making them for my son.

Once you refrigerate for a while the cream will rise to the top, just like Stonyfield farms does.

Even with the 1/4 cup of sugar this recipe has about 2 grams less sugar than Yobaby per 4 ounce serving. All other nutrients are just about identical. It makes about 8 four ounce servings and will keep for about a week.

Enjoy!
