| I made Greek yogurt in the crock pot a week ago, and it came out so well that I decided to do it again. After pouring the milk into the crock pot, I realized that I had bought lactose free ultra-pasteurized. Should I just call it a loss and dump it out, or does it have any chance of working? |
| I don't think it will work without lactose. |
| Yes! It works as well as regular milk. The lactose has been broken down into other sugars, but the bacteria cultures like them as much as lactose. |
Recipe, please!

OP here, this is the recipe I used:

| (OP again)- thanks for the input! I'm going to keep going with it, since I really have nothing to lose. Will update on how it turns out! |
| Let us know what happens. And thanks for the recipe - I'm going to try this! |
| OP here- it's straining in the fridge now. So far it doesn't seem as thick as the last time, but it may still be edible. I'll see in a few hours (or after work). |
OP update- it didn't come out as thick as my first batch (with lactose and NOT ultra-pasteurized milk), but I'm definitely still eating it.
