Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 capsules Probiotic capsules
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Sterilize a large glass jar by rinsing it with boiling water and letting it air dry.
Step 2
Shake the cans of coconut milk well to mix the contents, then open and pour them into a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 3
Gently heat the coconut milk over medium-low heat until warm to the touch (about 100°F or 38°C), but not hot. Stir occasionally to keep it from scalding.
Step 4
Remove the milk from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Ensure it's lukewarm before proceeding.
Step 5
Open the probiotic capsules and sprinkle the powder over the warm coconut milk. Discard the empty capsules.
Step 6
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the sterilized glass jar. Cover the jar with a clean cheesecloth or a paper towel, securing it with a rubber band or string.
Step 8
Place the jar in a warm, draft-free area (such as an oven with only the oven light on) and let it ferment for 24 to 48 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier it will become.
Step 9
Once the yogurt has reached your desired tanginess, remove the cover and give it a good stir.
Step 10
Transfer the yogurt to the refrigerator to chill and thicken further for at least 4 hours before serving.
Step 11
Stir the yogurt well before serving. It can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or granola.
