Homemade Yogurt

Instructions

1. 1

   Remove the jar from the water and allow to cool to room temperature. Stir in plain yogurt, making sure it has live culture. Cover and leave at room temperature for 48 hours. Refrigerate. I used vanilla syrup, and this was excellent. It was very rich, though, and I would probably use whole milk next time. (The yogurt culture converts the lactose in the milk to lactic acid, and thereby "eats" some of the carbs. One cup of yogurt made with milk has about 4 carbs, rather than the 11-12 that is listed on the container of milk.) Chocolate Truffles Note: Makes as many pieces as you cut it into! The better quality chocolate has a smoother texture than the more commonly available Baker’s chocolate due to its high cocoa butter content. Callebaut, Valrhona and Scharffen Berger are all good choices. Total Carbohydrates with nuts: 33, Total Carbohydrates without nuts: 22
