Viili Yogurt

Cultural Context

Viili is a traditional Finnish yogurt-like dairy product that has been enjoyed for centuries. Its unique texture and mild flavor make it a staple in Finnish households, often served as a snack or breakfast item. Viili is typically made using raw or pasteurized milk and a specific culture that gives it its characteristic viscosity. Today, it is gaining popularity outside Finland, with many health enthusiasts embracing its probiotic benefits.

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Almond milk is lower in calories, while soy milk is often less expensive.

1

Add 4 tablespoons of yogurt starter to 4 cups of milk.

2

Stir the mixture well to incorporate the yogurt starter into the milk.

3

Cover the jar with a paper coffee filter or a tight weave tea towel secured with a rubber band.

4

Place the jar in a warm spot in your house (between 70 and 78°F).

5

Let it sit for 12 to 18 hours until thickened.

6

Check if the yogurt is ready by tipping the jar; it should pull away from the sides as a single mass.

7

Refrigerate the yogurt for 6 hours before serving to stop the culturing process.

8

Set aside some yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch.
