I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- I find when I make the EDC yoghurt that the yoghurt I use as a starter determines the yoghurt I get. So I used Greek for a batch a while back and now I use keep a little of each batch for the next (so I don't have to buy more Greek all the time).
- Place the milk into the mixing bowl and heat for 25 mins./90°C/speed 3. Removed the lid and leave to cool to 37°C (takes about an hour). You can pop it in the fridge if you prefer, with the lid on, for 20 minus. Make sure you dry the plugs on the bottom of any condensation that forms on them.
- If your yoghurt is the last bit in a tub then add a little of the cool milk and mix, otherwise do so in a small bowl. Add the yoghurt mix to your mixing bowl and heat for 20 mins./37°C/speed 2.
- Warm your Thermoserver by pouring in boiling water and leaving for a minute then tipping out. Pour your warmed yoghurt-milk into your Thermoserver and put the base on as a lid (more secure). Leave somewhere warm for 5-7 hours (best done during the day if you are home as its warmer).
- For thicker and denser yoghurt drops 'hang' your yoghurt. Otherwise chill until ready to make your drops.
- If you use the yoghurt 'unhung' it still works great (as pictured later), you will get flatter drops. If you hang it they will be more plump and dense.
- Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of honey to your yoghurt, depending on how sour it is and how sweet you like it. Stir well. Add other flavourings like vanilla extract or paste. I recommend making a few rows of plain or vanilla ones then flavouring the second half of your yoghurt with fruit puree so you get a mix.
- Any fruit can be used but don't use too much or it will make your mix runny and your drops flatter. Unless you hang it with the yoghurt as per the previous steps.
- If you are not going to hang it then in bowl of your Thermomix puree 20-50 grams fruit. Puree for 5 secs./speed 6 then add the yoghurt and repeat.
- If you want a lot of fruit in your drops then puree 100-150g of seasonal fruit or berries for 10 secs./speed 7 increasing to 10. Add your yoghurt to the bowl and stir for 10 secs./speed 4 before you scoop into a sieve to hang in the fridge.
- Make them the size of a 10c coin but plump as they will get flat as they dry.
- Place into your dehydrator and set to a medium heat if it has a setting. Dry for 12 hours or until dry to the touch on the base. Once they are mostly dry you can take them off the silicon and turn them over to dry on the other side.
- Pack as a snack in your kids Lunchbox or use to make a trail mix to pack.

14 month old granddaughter loved them, no hidden nasties
Would this work with milk kefir?
You could do them in an oven if yours is fan forced and can go as low as 50C. They wont be exactly the same, and an oven is a lot less energy efficient but toally doable. Just set your oven to 50C and leave in until dry. I would do them during the day and keep an eye on them. Let us know how it goes!![tmrc_emoticons.) tmrc_emoticons.)](/bundles/tmrcfront/js/tinymce-plugins/tmrc_emoticons/img/smile.png)

Anyone know if you can do them in the oven? Don't have a dehydrator or even know of anyone with one.
Hi, I used a "silpat mat" as I forgot to grab the sheets that came with the dehydrator when I borrowed it. You can use baking paper for sure (if it is a good quality one). Or use the solid dehydrator sheets.
A silpat mat is the same as a Thermomat, I am just not lucky enough to have the latter (YET).
Let me know how you go! I would love to see a pic on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/stonesoupmelbourne

Do you use paraflex sheets? Not sure if I should invest in some or just work with baking paper?
These went down a treat and I am already getting request's from friends who saw me post the recipe on my facebook page for some for them! https://www.facebook.com/stonesoupmelbourne
