Both mention Cream Fresh and Half and Half Yogurt?

Is this just dripped yogurt?

Cream Fresh is technically dripped yogurt made with whole cream.

I found that this was a little heavy for my taste, so I typically make

yogurt with organic half & half, then chill it, and drip it for

anything which calls for cream fresh or creme fresh.

Marilyn, I'm glad you wrote this as I have a question as to quantities. I currently use Yogourmet brand of starter powder--2 envelopes to a half gallon of milk. What quantities of half & half do you use and to what ratio of powder? Obviously you don't make a half gallon of 'heavy' Yoqurt ( or do you?)

Thanks,

Terry

When making half and half yogurt, I use the same amount of Yogourmet

powder as I would if making whole milk yogurt.

And yes, I've made a whole half gallon of full cream yogurt... ghods is

it decadent all by itself!

I regularly make half gallons of half and half yogurt because I use it

for making ranch dressing and other good stuff with. It drips down

to about two-thirds of that.

I was wondering if the ranch dressing you make with half and half is thicker? I made dressing with skim milk yogurt and it was quite runny. (Mayo, yogurt and spices)

Also is this a cream that could be used in coffee or tea?

Thanks

Hi Marilyn

<<Half & half drips to a very thick consistency -- more like a chip dip than a pourable salad dressing. >>

Why do you drip the half and half? What else do you use this for?

The creme recipe in the book says to make it just like the yougurt recipe? Buy you say to just put it into the fridge to ferment?

My commercial yougurt has organic milk ingredients, active bacterial culture (then lists the cultures) is this ok?

What is the lacteeze for?

Thanks

Marilyn - how long will the ranch dressing typically keep? For that matter, how long does the home made yogurt we make keep? Is there a general rule of thumb?

Marilyn,

Thanks so much for all the help. Having your cooking experience is a great asset to many of us just starting.

Do you drip all your yogurt or just half & half? or do you make yogurt from half and half?

thanks

Hi Marilyn

here are the cultures listed

streptococcus thermophilus

lactobacillus delbrueckii

subsp. bulgaricus & subsp lactis

lactobacillus acidophilus

bifidobacteria

lactobacillus paracase subsp. casei

If this makes it illegal, what can I use to make yogurt?

Ok please forgive my ignorance, so does this make my yogurt not

legal? Also where would I find a list of the " legal " cultures as I

can only find in the book where it says only milk ingredients and

active cultures.
