Make yoghurts and desserts with a yoghurt maker

Far from just making homemade yogurt, in the yogurt maker you can prepare an infinite number of desserts (why else would they call it Multidelicias Yogurt Maker ?), from custards and creams to puddings, custards, fresh cheese or even biscuits. After all, an electric yogurt maker is a steam cooking device (you put water in its base before starting it, which will evaporate and steam it), with the great benefits of controlling temperatures and times .

In addition, you do it in crystal glasses, which are very comfortable and beautiful both for the preparation of desserts and for their presentation (and they are very easy to clean, since they are suitable for the dishwasher). All this in record time!

What is the Yogurt Maker for?

You will wonder what you can do in the yogurt maker. The yogurt maker is an appliance that provides heat, and it works with steam. You can make up to 6 yogurts, desserts or cheeses in it at the same time. It has a top lid that closes the yogurt maker, containing the glasses and retaining the steam and heat that will do the cooking.

Being a device that applies heat, always in a controlled way, it is ideal for all kinds of recipes : in the yogurt maker you can make all those recipes that you can present in jars, and that all they require is a base or dough that requires heat or steam cooking to cook.

• You can make yoghurts: the heat (low and controlled in this case, so as not to damage them) will help the bacteria fermentation, and you will get homemade yoghurts. You can make them natural, with flavours, apply jam or fruit on the base, with a biscuit... You can make an infinite number of homemade yogurts, controlling the ingredients and quantities that you apply, playing with textures and flavors and obtaining the most varied desserts.
• Other Dairy: From curds to homemade Pétit Suisse or cream cheese, the heat will "curdle" the milk, making for delicious dairy desserts.
• Custards and creams: prepare the base recipe for homemade custard, Catalan cream, crême brulee or a delicious chocolate cream (what addictive desserts!). Making these bases is easy, and after putting it in the yogurt maker, it will be the one that will cook it for you to obtain delicious desserts in about 30 minutes (more time to cool in the fridge).
• Flans: it is one of the most common uses for the yogurt maker, because how many times do we have flan at home and how easy is it to prepare? You mix the ingredients (nothing as easy and tasty as eggs, milk and sugar), and the yogurt maker cooks them for you in 45 minutes, without the need to make a bain-marie or turn on the oven. From traditional egg flan to coconut flan, cinnamon, chocolate, condensed milk... You will prepare flan in cantidubi!
• Puddings : exactly the same as flan, but with the addition of some leftover homemade pastry dough, you'll be making delicious homemade puddings in no time.
• Doughs and biscuits: Steam your biscuits and serve them in individual portions! Nothing is as easy and clean as pouring the batter of your cake recipes into the glasses and pressing a button - you will have your individual cakes ready in less than an hour, without turning on the oven! From the typical yogurt cake to lemon, orange, chocolate, pumpkin, carrot, marbled cakes...
• Other desserts : there are many more recipes that you can make in the yogurt maker: rice pudding, blondies, bacon from heaven...
• Salty recipes: now that it is fashionable to bring food in a jar, or present individual appetizers, you can make the most varied fritattas in the yogurt maker (it is just about steaming the egg). There are other recipes you can think of, too, like cornbread stuffed with your favorite ingredients. Think of recipes that require heat or steam cooking, and you will be right.

Recipes in Yogurt Maker

There are two things that I encourage you to see to obtain recipes in the Yogurtera Multidelices:

1. The yogurt maker recipe book , which you can see here : in it you will find a wide variety of recipes to start taking advantage of your new appliance.
2. All the yogurt maker recipes on our blog , from flans and yogurt maker creams to puddings, you will see them here .

How to make yogurt with the yogurt maker

A yogurt has a lot of benefits for our health and making yogurt at home even more: you control the ingredients and amounts you use, making them super natural, it's super fast and it's also fun (for adults and for children, who often help me in the homework).

To make yogurt you only need two ingredients: milk and bacteria. The bacteria will ferment the milk, and you will get the yogurt.

Where do you get the bacteria for your first yogurts? You don't have to buy bacteria! The only thing you need for your first homemade yoghurts is a yoghurt - mix a quality whole natural yoghurt with milk, and distribute the mixture in the yoghurt maker jars. Put water in the base of the yogurt maker and turn it on, in a few hours you will have homemade yogurt.

Although it is true that the first yoghurts you make each have that small part of purchased yoghurt, there is a very small amount of it in each yoghurt (it is divided into 6 jars), and from those first yoghurts you make you can use your own to make more yogurts. All in all, it is interesting to buy a quality yogurt for your first yogurts, made from milk and ferments in quantity and quality, so that you obtain dense yogurts full of flora.

Make flavored yoghurts, add jam to the yoghurt base if you like its flavor and sweetness, you can sweeten them with natural sweeteners in the mix, you can add fresh fruit, candied fruit, dried fruit, aromas... Prepare your yoghurts with your favorite combinations!

Multidelices yogurt maker programs

The yogurt maker comes with 6 jars and 6 removable grids/strainer to make fresh cheese, and it has several predetermined programs , which are:

1. Program to make yogurt
2. Program to make fresh cheese
3. Program for daily desserts : with it you will prepare everything that are custards, creams, custards, puddings... Default at 45 minutes
4. Express program: only the new version of the Multidelices Yogurt Maker (the one we have in the store) includes this express program. This is an advanced function to ferment yoghurts in 4 hours, instead of the usual 8 in this type of machine.

Despite coming with these programs, you can also modify times and temperatures manually : if you have overfilled the jars, or if you have made an extremely wet cake dough and you will require a little more temperature or time... You can press the program to use and, after that, add the minutes of time you want or raise or lower the degrees of heat at will.

Also remember that the yogurt maker is an electrical appliance optimized for low energy consumption. This is important, especially in longer programs for which it is interesting to know that, in fact, they require little energy, since you need a very low temperature to cook the yoghurts (therefore, little energy to heat them, just enough to keep it).
