This Instant Pot recipe was inspired by a name-brand pumpkin yogurt that costs more for one serving than it does to purchase all the ingredients to make this recipe several times over. The yogurt magically separates into two distinct layers during incubation, creating a beautiful pumpkin layer on the bottom, topped with a spiced yogurt on top.
