Simple 2 Ingredient Coconut Yogurt

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 400 g/1.5 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 x 400ml can of full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 vegan probiotic capsules (that can be opened and the powder poured out of)

Optional add-ins:

  • Pureed mango
  • Chia jam
  • Maple syrup ( for sweetening)
  • Vanilla extract

Instructions 

  • Shake your coconut milk can vigorously to remove any lumps (you can later whisk or press any remaining lumps out while stirring with the probiotics).
  • Pour the coconut milk into a clean jar (we sterilised ours by rinsing them with boiling water then cooling them).
  • Open your probiotic capsules and pour them into the coconut milk. Stir together, pressing against the sides of the jar to ensure it is all evenly distributed (avoid using a metal spoon as metal can react negatively with probiotics, we use a silicone spatula
  • Cover with a thin cloth and secure using a rubber band (cheesecloth or a thin tea towel work, something that can still allow the yogurt to breathe).
  • Leave the yogurt to ferment for 24-48 hours depending on the temperature of your house and your preferred level of yogurt tang (test using a wooden or silicone spoon. Also warmer temperatures will require around 24-30 hours and cooler temps in the winter may need 48-56 hours even). If your house is very cold you can also place the yogurt in the oven with the light on (not turned on!)
  • Once at your desired level of tang, cover with a lid and place in the fridge to set and thicken. Then add any extra additions like chia jam or mango puree and enjoy!
  • We keep ours in the fridge for 5-7 days.
