Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt: The base of our silly putty, creamy and delightful.
1 cup cornstarch: This gives it that perfect putty-like texture.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional): Adds a sweet aroma and flavor.
Food coloring (optional): For fun, vibrant colors that make it even more exciting.

How to Make Edible Yogurt Silly Putty

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt and cornstarch.
Stir the mixture together until it forms a thick, sticky dough. You might need to use your hands to really get in there!
If desired, add vanilla extract for flavor and mix well.
If you want to add color, divide the dough into portions and add a few drops of food coloring to each portion. Knead the dough until the color is evenly distributed.
Once the dough is well mixed and has reached a putty-like consistency, it’s ready to play with!
Store any leftover edible silly putty in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Substitutions & Additions

If you are looking to mix things up a bit, here are some fun swaps and creative upgrades:

Swap plain yogurt for flavored yogurt for an extra twist.
Add sprinkles or edible glitter for a sparkly touch.
Experiment with different extracts like almond or coconut for unique flavors.

Tips for Success

Make sure to mix thoroughly to avoid clumps.
If the mixture is too sticky, simply add a little more cornstarch until you reach the desired consistency.
This is a perfect recipe for playdates, so consider making a batch together!
