Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Agar-agar powder
- 4 capsules Probiotic capsules
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 4 medium Apples
- 120 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
To make the dairy-free yogurt, start by pouring 800 ml of coconut milk into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
Once simmering, add 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder to the coconut milk, stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Allow it to dissolve completely.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool down to about 43°C (110°F).
Step 4
Open 4 probiotic capsules and stir the powder into the cooled coconut mixture along with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix well.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into sterilized jars or a glass container, cover with a clean cloth, and let it ferment in a warm place for 12-24 hours or until tangy and set.
Step 6
For the homemade applesauce, peel and core 4 medium apples, and chop them into small pieces.
Step 7
Place the chopped apples in a saucepan with 120 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Step 8
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft and start to break down, approximately 20 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from heat and mash the apples to your desired consistency. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Step 10
Allow both the yogurt and applesauce to cool completely. Serve the creamy dairy-free yogurt topped with a generous spoonful of homemade applesauce.
