Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 4 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp Agar agar powder
- 4 capsules Probiotic capsules
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, pour the full-fat coconut milk and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
As the milk reaches a boil, add the agar agar powder and whisk it in thoroughly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes while constantly whisking.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to around 110°F (43°C) – warm to the touch but not hot.
Step 4
Once cooled, open the probiotic capsules and gently stir the contents into the coconut milk mixture. Make sure not to stir vigorously or it may damage the probiotics.
Step 5
Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into a clean glass jar or a bowl, then cover it with a clean cloth secured with a rubber band or string.
Step 7
Let the mixture sit in a warm environment, such as inside a turned-off oven with the light on, for 12-24 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier the yogurt will become.
Step 8
Once the yogurt has reached your desired taste, cover it with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours to thicken.
Step 9
Stir the yogurt gently before serving. Enjoy it plain or with your choice of dairy-free granola or fruits.
