Homemade Vegan Coconutmilk Yogurt

So on my trip to Amsterdam last week I got to stop at (more like I forced my family to go there with me haha) at this health food store called unlimited health. I bought multiple items and one of my favourite purchases would have had to be a tub of CoYo (Coconutmilk yogurt).

Breakfast in Amsterdam 🙂 CoYo mixed with sunwarrior chocolate protein powder, fruit and a green smoothie

I liked it so much I finished it all in the same day and had to go back for more the next day. I wish I could have bought an unlimited supply to take back home with me but sadly due to it being a refrigerated item that obviously wasn’t an option. (Also not sure the airplane crew would have like me bringing back home a massive amount of CoYo haha). So I decided I would just have to make my own. The first time round making this I was very skeptical and was expecting the outcome to be a massive failure. But to my surprise it actually turned out really great and I was left with a delicious creamy and thick greek yogurt type consistency. Due to this being a fermented products it is amazing for your health and can help replenish that important gut bacteria of yours. You can read more about that here: How probiotics and cultured food can drastically improve your health and apperance

You will need:

• 1.5 Litres of full fat Coconut Milk
• 4 Probiotic Capsulses or yogurt starter of your choice (they should state on the directions the amount you need to use)
• 2 tbsp xanathan gum; this will work as a thickening agent
• 4 tbsp coconut flour
• An oven or any other device that can produce a heat of 40 degrees celsius for a long period of time

Step 1: Heat up the coconut milk

Heat up the coconut milk in a pan until it’s hot but not boiling yet. This will kill any of the leftover bad bacteria that you don’t want in your yogurt.

Step 2: Let the Coconut Milk cool down and then add the probiotics

Let the coconut milk cool back down to room temperature. Mix in the probiotics, coconut flour and xanathan gum.

Step 3: Let the fermentation process begin

Place your coconut milk in an oven that heated up to 40 degrees celsius and leave it there for 20-24 hours. This will give the bacteria time to grow and ferment the milk. During this process your coconut milk should start to thicken up and turn into yogurt.

Step 5: The final step

Remove the coconut milk yogurt from the oven and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours before consuming. This will stop the growing process of the bacteria and further thicken the yogurt

And that’s it. Feel free to mix berries, raw cacao or anything your heart desires into your yogurt to turn it into flavoured yogurt.

Enjoy!
