- Heat the milk and cream in the microwave for two minutes.
- Put some of the warm milk in the gelatin and mix until smooth, and then add this mixture to the milk and cream.
- Add the starter yogurt and the powdered cardamom and stir or whisk until everything has been well-incorporated.
- Set your Instant Pot to its Yogurt setting, which may be 8 hours by default.
- Once it's done, add in the Splenda and honey, stir everything together. Don't add the sweetener before it's set, as it tends to make the yogurt less firm.
- Let it sit in the fridge for 6-8 hours otherwise it will be runny. Gelatin needs to be cooled before it will set so do not be in a tearing rush to eat it. It's totally worth the wait.
Notes: You can either buy powdered cardamom seeds, buy the seeds and grind them yourself in a coffee grinder, or peel the green cardamom pods, remove the seeds, and then grind those. I buy seeds and grind them fresh each time.
