Making homemade coconut yogurt has never been simpler! Use a yogurt maker to get started, then enjoy customizing it with your favorite toppings all week long.
Equipment
- Yogurt Maker, The best yogurt maker I've been using since forever
- Probiotic Capsules I've been a big fan of this brand for ages.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Grass-fed beef gelatin, or 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder
- ½ cup Water
- 3 13.5-ounce cans Full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ Teaspoon Probiotics, approx 3 to 4 opened capsules
- ½ tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin. Pour the water in a wide, shallow bowl and sprinkle the gelatin or agar-agar on top. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Heat the milk. Heat the coconut milk in a pot on medium-high heat. Gently simmer until the temperature reaches 180°F, then turn off the heat. Add the gelatin or agar powder to the pot and stir for several minutes, until all the powder has dissolved.
- Cool the milk. Let the pot cool to 110 to 115°F. This will take 30 minutes or more. Alternatively, place the pot in an ice-water bath to expedite the process.
- Add sweetness and tang. Once the coconut milk has cooled, pour 1 cup into a small bowl. Add the maple syrup and probiotic powder and whisk until there are no clumps of probiotic powder. Pour this cup back into the pot and whisk thoroughly.
- Cook and chill the yogurt. Pour the coconut milk yogurt into the jars of your yogurt machine. Turn the machine on and cook for 7 to 9 hours. The longer you cook, the more tangy the yogurt becomes. Once the coconut yogurt is done (note that it will still be fairly liquid at this stage), refrigerate it for 2 to 3 hours to firm up.
- Serve. Before serving, stir the contents of the yogurt jar as a slight film may form on top. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe yields seven 6-ounce servings, perfect for this yogurt maker. The yogurt stays fresh in the fridge for up to two weeks.
For a firmer texture, similar to Greek yogurt, consider adding extra gelatin or agar-agar.
I’ve been using these probiotic capsules for years, and they never disappoint!
