Instructions
Open one can of coconut milk and add all contents to a non-metal mixing bowl. Open the other can and use only the top creamy white part.
Open the probiotic capsules into the bowl.
Mix really well with a wooden spoon until combined. Avoid metal as this can react with the probiotics.
Cover tightly and let rest for 24 hours in a warm environment. The longer it sits, the tangier it gets.
Chill in the fridge to thicken. You can thin it out with the remaining coconut water from the other can, but I like it fairly thick.
Notes
Use high-quality probiotics that don't include prebiotics or other enzymes.
Use non-reactive, non-metal bowls and utensils.
If your yogurt separates, that's ok! Just stir before serving.
To thicken this yogurt even more, place it in a cheesecloth set over a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. This will help drain out any excess moisture.
If your yogurt takes on an odd odor or color, toss it! It has likely spoiled.
This yogurt is so yummy topped with fresh fruit, honey, fruit jam or gluten-free granola.
This recipe yields 1.5 cups of yogurt. A serving is
¼ cup.
To Store:
Store coconut yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
