    Homemade coconut yogurt, a quick delicious way to make homemade yogurt using coconut milk! Full of antioxidants and other essential nutrients.

    Homemade coconut yogurt is easy to make and that is good news for those who want to eat a dairy-free yogurt.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Easy and cost-effective. Plant-based yogurts are expensive, but to make it homemade all you need are a few ingredients and time.

    Delicious & tangy. My version is tangy and rich with probiotics although it is a faux yogurt, as in no fermentation is involved. Instead of fermenting, I add probiotics from a capsule. If you are adept at using yogurt starters and have a yogurt maker, you can go that route. My recipe is a shortcut.

    Ingredients

    • coconut milk - I use canned, full fat.
    • probiotic capsule - Add two capsules if you want your yogurt more tangy. I use the brand RenewLife.
    • maple syrup - A sweetener
    • lemon juice - for tangy flavor

    About the Probiotic Capsule

    Read the label and be sure your probiotic capsule contains common fermenting bacteria such as bulgaricus, acidophilus and lactobacillus.

    Vegans need to be careful to avoid lactobacillus because it is grown on a dairy source. I suggest RenewLife brand.

    Steps to Make

    Step 1: Stir all the ingredients to make the yogurt. Do not blend, the metal blades can damage the probiotics.

    Step 2: Cover the yogurt container with a paper towel to let in air, and store at room temperature for 24 hours.

    Step 3: Once 24 hours is up, refrigerate it to chill it. Once chilled it is ready to eat.

    Storage

    Store refrigerated and eat within two days.

    Prep

      1 (13.5oz) can coconut milk, 1 capsule quality probiotic, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 2 teaspoon lemon juice

    • Store in a dry dark place at room temperature for 24 hours.
    • Refrigerate after 24 hours. Eat once chilled for best flavor.

    Read the label and be sure your probiotic capsule contains common fermenting bacteria such as bulgaricus, acidophilus and lactobacillus.
